Insufficiently Sensitive

On September 14, the San Francisco Chronicle ran a piece on Senator Obama which made omissions here and there. Despite a laudatory tone, his abilities for walking on water didn’t make it onto the page. But in a great gaping black hole of omission, nothing whatever was said of his tenure as Chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, nor was the wastage of the entire $150,000,000 disbursement mentioned. It was supposed to improve the performance of school children in Chicage – it entirely failed to do so. More likely it went to ACORN-style groups.
But the San Francisco Chronicle’s goal is to praise Caesar Obama, not to bury him in embarrassing facts. So those facts are cleverly edited out.
