The Editorial LiveJournalists get all worked up today over the Cheney hunting accident, arguing that it’s the latest example of the White House’s disdain for disclosure and transparency.
This contention comes from the newspaper that:
* Holds secretive editorial board meetings with important figures, filtering the questions and answers for the poor dumb masses.
* Sends staff to impersonate Katrina evacuees.
* Announces that it will no longer report METROrail accidents if it doesn’t feel like it.
* [Feel free to contribute your own examples in the comments]
Frankly, the Houston Chronicle has no real standing to lecture anyone on disclosure or transparency.
