SF Chronicle vs. Newsbusters

Posted at NRO-Media blog:
The San Francisco Chronicle has a blog post up defending their actions regarding the Obama interview in which he says he would bankrupt coal plants with his CO2 legislation.
....
 have no idea what they're talking about with past Newsbusters pieces, but here's what Newsbusters did post on the hidden audio interview:

UPDATE: NewsBusters' Tom Blumer has found out that the San Francisco Chronicle story published on January 18 based upon this January 17 interview did not include any mention of Obama's willingness to bankrupt the coal industry which you can hear on the audio. You can read the story here when you scroll down to the "In His Own Words" section. Way to cover up for The One, SF Chronicle!

When you click on the link above, you'll see that the Chronicle felt no need to mention how Obama's plans would increase electricity costs or bankrupt coal plants.  One might make the argument that, since this was from the primary, the coal issue wasn't important because Californians don't care about coal. But it is telling that whenever Obama and Biden are in San Francisco talking to a far-left audience, the truth of their positions always seems to come out.
