Damn...so much for objectivity. While publishers often direct the coverage of their papers, it's pretty rare when this kind of thing gets leaked that contains this sort of specific instructions on coverage. I wonder if this making onto the website was really an accident. Maybe it's some fed up writer blowing the lid off of what he thought was a bogus and biased assignment.

That was my suspicion too. They've already started to implement the memo anyway though. The first installment was in today's paper at http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/metropolitan/1675912

We need to spread this memo far and wide so every future step can be anticipated.

You said,

I like your theory best.

Hey, if I was working there, this would have been no "accident." I would have made sure it got in the PUBLISHED paper, though probably somebody would have caught it before being printed.

I absolutely hate bias....I do not care if it is liberal or conservative. The OPINION PAGE IS THE ONLY.....THE ONLY.....PLACE WHERE BELIEFS OF JOURNALISTS CAN COME INTO PLAY.
