RightwingSparkle Takes on the Chron in a Chron Blog

I've written the reporter to ask her about her paper's corrections policy, and also inquire why she's burying a scoop dumped into her lap concerning one of the hottest topics of the past two weeks, i.e., the White House's and Nancy Pelosi's insistence that town hall attendees are "AstroTurf" plants.

She has accidentally been handed proof of this two-week-old, much debated charge, and chooses to bury her inadvertent scoop.

Meanwhile, on a Chron blog, RightwingSparkle notes the story.

Which is the only place on the Chron you'll see their own scoop.

Correction: Not the only place. Another blog has a brief mention -- once again failing to mention the woman was an Obama delegate and lead organizer for Organizing for America, and once again failing to note the obvious context of White House claims of AstroTurfing by ObamaCare opponents.
