The San Francisco Chronicle checked in with 3 intriguing stories commemorating 9/11. The problem is that many readers, including Chronwatch.com the online S.F. Chronicle critic, felt that the paper was going overboard pandering to its very liberal, progressive readership. Any one of which of at least 3 stories filed in the Chron could win a journalistic award for "Unsure of the Concept". The first story was a sympathetic portrayal of an Arab who was imprisoned for being a collaborator. The Chronicle regretted his unfair and lengthy incarceration, in spite of the fact that this gentlemen: a) was a roommate to 2 of the actual 9/11 mass murdering pilots.b) overstayed his visa c) and was caught falsifying Social Security cards.

It gets better. Another story regretted that a convicted mass murderer, and founder of the notorious Crips gang, lost an appeal. The story was replete with a series of bleeding heart liberals who are quoted to support the paper's remorse. Link here: http://www.chronwatch.com/editorial/contentDisplay.asp?aid=318
And finally, there was an editorial on the eve of 9/11, while the nation was mourning its dead, indicating that there were not enough abortion clinics in California. The editorial demanded that we needed new legislation mandating that all California medical schools teach doctors abortion techniques.
