The Chronicle ran an editorial today about the passing of Yasser Arafat.
So did the Austin American-Statesman.
One editorial wandered all over the place and never really seemed to make a point. The other one was quite good.
Maybe the Chron should just hang it up. Instead of trying to write editorials themselves, they could just run one of those “Another Voice” columns and grab some good copy. Sure, the editorial page would always be a day behind, but so much of the news coverage is “olds” that it would be kind of appropriate.
(11-13-2004 Update) Today’s newspaper carries “Other Voices” from the Star-Telegram, among other sources (but not the American-Statesman).
