The Chron's bad few days

The Chronicle‘s substandard journalism has been taking more of a pounding than usual on blogs over the last few days (albeit not this one, because work, software maintenance, and life in general have been intruding more than usual on our blogging time).

Over at the Lone Star Times, Matt Bramanti takes the newspaper to task for incorrectly asserting cops had beaten a prisoner to death (but they did run a correction — not always the case at the Chronicle).

Bramanti also notes that the Editorial LiveJournalists got the Russian president’s name wrong (we haven’t seen a correction on that one).

At Lose an Eye, It’s a Sport, Cory Crow picks apart a Chron story on the recent sales-tax holiday weekend.

National Review Online’s Media Blog writes that Sen. Cornyn is unhappy with the Chron‘s repeated (mis)characterization of some healthcare comments he made. Unsurprisingly, a Chron editor was not available to discuss the matter with NRO.

And today, Bramanti is back at work, skewering the latest screed by Clay Robison, who moonlights as Hearst’s Austin bureau chief when he’s not penning such articles.
