The Comical's news sense is horrible. They think that a story about Dr. Robert Wachter saying that five percent of people in SF may have Covid-19 without knowing it is top priority news. Get real. Nearly every other newspaper in the United States doesn't consider Covid-19 as top priority news any more. But this newspaper would rather make the opening of a local restaurant as major news. The dragon lady EIC Audrey Cooper is gone, but her "influence" is still felt. I really don't want to subscribe to the Comical, but what choice is there? The Mercury News and the other newspapers associated with them? That's another joke too.
Indeed! The whole Dr. Bob / Dr. Monica Ghandi is one of the most interesting dynamics of Covid19 coverage. When we're being asked to mask up again, they'll should be front and center. Dr. Bob's Twitter feed was the most informative single source of information about Covid19 in 2020-21.
The Mercury News had the story on page A6. The entire front page was a graphic illustrating the one million people that have died from Covid19 but "if the nation had the Bay Area's death rate" it would have been only 650,000.
Rich, why would a racially-motivated white supremacist terror attack on American soil be newsworthy when they (The Comical/SFBait) have umpteen stories to run about all the costumes and morning drunkenness at the Bay to Breakers? There is no rock bottom for them. None. It’s high time we stop considering the Comical/SFBait journalism, and acknowledge it for what is, a publication whose only purpose is fireplace kindling and ass-wiping (in emergency situations). I thought their hiring of a full-time burrito editor was their low point but they find new ways to outdo themselves. Last week some wannabe influencer ‘discovered’ the walkway that Bay Bridge tolltakers used for nearly 80 years to get their tollbooths. Of course the Comical and their lame clickbait website, SFBait, ran with that story for two full days, plastering it all over their websites and print edition. How a walkway that was in use for nearly 80 years with tens of thousands of people passing it each day is news is beyond me.
12:47 pm, the original poster is right. They do have a burrito editor on paid staff now. But hey, thank goodness we have some 26 year old transplant to tell us where we should be getting our burritos from! Mind you, this is the same burrito editor who once referred to Mission Street as ‘Mission Avenue’ and who also referred to a particular burrito as the ‘most authentic she’s had outside of Mexico.’ Nevermind the fact that burritos aren’t even authentic Mexican food.
I was a high school teacher and student newspapers have reporters who know how to write stories. They have a journalism teacher that ensures ethical, honest reporting. The Comical has neither.
Wow...
ReplyDeleteNo words.
Is anyone surprised at this leftist liberal rag being a sack of shit? It's a local MSNBC apologist for the Democrat party at this point.
DeleteNo words, until A-9
DeleteCheck out the “sports” section. No game coverage of anything.
ReplyDeleteNo need for local feed. Use CNN.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they can do a review on the shooter's favorite restaurant?
ReplyDeleteTHAT made me laugh. Thanks!

DeleteSF Chron isn't even good at covering local stories.
ReplyDeleteI would not use the Comical to paper train a dog.
ReplyDeleteHaha!!!!
