Why The Houston Chronicle Doesn't Win Pulitzers

Three of the Headlines:

Report: Minorities lack computers at home
City contractors give big bucks in mayor's race
Mayor hops on Metro bus and stumps for rail

The No Shit Sherlock Paper.

I may be overly critical, while they used a quarter of the front page (pdf) on a cute basketball fan picture the stories are OK if not fine examples of investigative journalism. (Houston television is more known for their investigative stories than the Chronicle!) The contributions from city contractors had a nice numeric box showing who is more on the take - below the fold because it is the Republican. On the front page at all because they support White - Sanchez is a Republican who can't make money and panders for votes.
