The Chronicle, Schwarzenegger, Amos Brown and Dufty: Misleading Readers Twice on Same Day
With Carla Marinucci’s endless cheerleading for Schwarzenegger’s re-election, one wonders if the San Francisco Chronicle’s reporters have money at stake on the Governor serving another term. The October 12 Chronicle reported that former Supervisor Reverend Amos Brown has endorsed Arnold and shot a television commercial for his re-election. In order to give weight to Brown’s endorsement, the Chronicle falsely identified Brown as “one of the Bay Area’s most outspoken progressives.” In truth, he was among the Board’s most conservative Supervisors and was soundly defeated for re-election by progressive Gerardo Sandoval. Meanwhile, the Chronicle added to its October 12 reign of error in its story on the District 8 Supervisor race. The paper framed the race as a cultural battle, completely ignoring the #1 issue that sets the two main candidates apart -- tenants’ rights and the mass displacement of people with AIDS from the Castro.
