Here’s what there is to say about this Chron story that “covers”, loosely speaking, the five open Council races. It has 62 sentences in it. It names 31 candidates. You do the math.
I mean, seriously. If you’re going to cover the races, then cover the races. I don’t expect an obsessive number of interviews. But is it too much to ask for each race to get its own story? The HISD Trustee races got their own stories, which was great. Why not the Council races? I don’t get it.
Well, that would require reporters, right? And there are fewer and fewer of those to go around.
