KTRH-740 just ran a report on the SAFEclear program today that included a blurb from “political scientist Bob Stein,” who unsurprisingly spoke in defense of the program. He was not identified as one of the architects of the program, nor was it mentioned that his wife is an advisor to Mayor White. It should have been. Even better, the reporter might have found a more objective analyst. Bob Stein is not the only political scientist in town.
Elsewhere on the morning dial, KSEV-700 host Edd Hendee will be reporting live during the week via satellite phone from Iraq, where he is joining American troops as an embed. That likely means some morning studio time for Chris Begala (who is in today for Hendee, and conveying the Dan Patrick line that motorists without $75 for a tow should stay off the freeways).
Council takes up the Mayor’s proposed SAFEclear revisions this week.
UPDATE: Lone Star Times posts Hendee’s first dispatch from Iraq.
