I thought from the headline this was ESPN's Dan Patrick
Sounds like the Chronicle and Mr. Feldstein will be hearing from Mr. Patrick's lawyer.

Dan Patrick is not my favorite Houston conservative, but he deserved better than this cheap shot from Houston's hometown Pravda.
Go Git 'em Dan!
The ESPN guy?
That's just it, the left has gone juvenile with taunts of "nah ah!" and other jeers from the peanut gallery whether their targets are "Mr." Bush and his "daddy", Halliburton, Rumsfeld, DeLay, et al.
When will people wake up to reality that they have been shoveled horsesh*t 8 feet deep for decades now?
While there may be some legitimate differences of opinion or room for complaint, on the whole most charges are groundless and simply serve to give them "something" to rally around.
Some would call it an abuse of power to repeatedly violate the public trust like that. CBS is lucky that their FCC license was not put in jeopardy for the crap they repeatedly pulled during the 2004 election.
No.
"Sounds like the Chronicle and Mr. Feldstein will be hearing from Mr. Patrick's lawyer."
Let's hope.
Houston / Media Bias Bullzogby double ping.
Whoa, that *is* uncanny.
G-d I despise the Legacy Media.
What's the appraised value of a glass house (post-stone tossing)?

"Somebody needs to remind the Chronicle of their own taxing situation.
http://www.houstonpress.com/issues/1999-10-14/news/insider.html
The offices and printing plant of the Houston Chronicle at 801 Texas lie smack in the middle of the booming west side of downtown, across the street from the reborn, glittering Rice Lofts and its stylish bars and eateries. Homeowners in similarly upgrading inner-city areas have learned the hard way that when tear-downs next door are replaced by spiffy new condos, the fallout is soaring property taxes.
For Houston's self-proclaimed leading information source and champion of downtown revitalization, the gentrification experience has been far less traumatic on its pocketbook.
Two years ago, the Harris County Appraisal District valued the Chronicle's block-long 12-lot property at $18.2 million. Last year, the appraised value slipped to $15.5 million, even as the surrounding blocks exploded with development. Two months ago, after the paper's agents argued their case before a three-person appraisal review board, that value was further lowered to $11.1 million, a more than 40 percent reduction over two years, which adds up to more than a quarter-million dollars in property tax savings. At the rate things are going, the Hearst-owned paper may eventually get its appraisal down to where it claims it should be: a bargain-basement $6.4 million for a prime block of downtown real estate. "
Here in Tucson the "RED" Star's subscription numbers are falling so fast that they are giving away "Free" subscriptions just to keep up their advertising rates. People are literally FED UP!. BTW the advertising pays for the production of the paper. The street/subscription price is pure gravy.
It's not unlike the chronicle to have selective memory, having lived in Houston most of my life. I too find the paper much like Pravda. Those at the chronicle "distort by report" in order to further their less than altruistic goals.
If any of you are still subscribing to the Commie-cle....
SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!
