SF Chronicle to No Longer Run Stories of Cats, Celebrities on Page A2

funny-cats-a10.jpg


Baby steps. But perhaps there's hope that under new leadership the Chron will no longer suck quite so bad.

That would deprive locals and industry watchers a reliable source of cocktail party chatter (why does it suck) since at least as far back as 1976, when Jason Robards playing WaPo editor Ben Bradlee in "All the President's Men" cracked that the Chron was the place to place "yesterday's weather report."

Still, worth the sacrifice.






Comments

The Chron opinion page today was all about Iraq. They had a pro-war piece from a denizen of the Hoover propaganda mill counterbalanced by a pro-war piece by an ex-general. The editor's piece tried to find the neutral ground between them. How courageous and relevant it made them seem.

Probably has more to do with there being too much competition for cats and celebrities.
