Chronicle runs protest photo, neglecting to mention Scientology connection

On page 15 of this week's Austin Chronicle, there is a photo of an anti-psychiatry rally. It's unfortunate they didn't assign a journalist to do some...you know...journalism. If so, they may have noticed an awful lot of connections between the protest group and the cult of Scientology.

I question the newsworthiness of the photo, but that's their call. They do, however, owe their readers the context and background. For instance, here is an article from an official cult publication that notes a Scientology "humanitarian award" that was conferred to protest spokesperson John Breeding.

re: Chronicle runs protest photo, neglecting to mention Sciento

I question your question. Why didn't you tell us why this is not newsworthy?
Goes without saying, huh.

Cruel indifference. I'm just sayin. Pleas cut that out, the kid bruises easily.
