After running a press release—and a hit piece, at that—aimed at Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi (D-Castro Valley) as a news item yesterday, the Chronicle goes the other way today with a new press release from PRWeb posted as news on SFGate. Its headline: “Assemblymember Mary Hayashi Congratulates Port of Oakland on $15 million Infrastructure Building Grant.”
Even minus the ethical fail, this sort of stuff rates “E” for embarrassment.
