The Chronicle's boxed story on Tom DeLay and his book ran above the fold and was accompanied with a three-column photo. "As far as free publicity goes, it just doesn't get any better than that," writes ombud James Campbell. "Most readers who contacted me felt that it was way too much coverage for DeLay, while others believed the story and its Page One placement was yet another example of the liberal media slighting the former congressman."
