SF Chronicle airs reader complaint calls as podcasts

[LTR]

Now this sounds pretty entertaining.

SAN FRANCISCO - Readers have been angrily calling newspapers with complaints almost since the first telephones were installed. Now, the San Francisco Chronicle is turning some of those calls into podcasts and posting them on its Web site for all to hear.

Dubbed "Correct Me If I'm Wrong ..." on the Chronicle's Web site, the paper last week posted a podcast of a reader's voicemail expressing irritation with a photo caption and the headline "Forest service begins testing pilotless drones" that appeared over a story buried deep within the Aug. 29 business section.

"Is there any other kind of drone?" the reader said in the voice mail. "You tell me right now, is there any other kind of drone other than a pilotless drone?"

Bronstein told The New York Times for a story Monday the Chronicle might add "dramatic readings" of some of the comments.

1. And no, I have never heard of a piloted drone either.

Has anyone?

2. Other than Bush?

Being piloted by PNAC?

3. they'll offer "dramatic readings" of the complaints? AKA mock the complaints
