I used to enjoy getting Texas Monthly, being a displaced Texan. It always had great stories and photography, and brought home the old feel of being in Texas to me. Then, it seems they changed editors a couple of years ago, and it turned into a liberal spewing rag seemingly overnight. I finally, sadly, eventually cancelled my subscription.
Liberal half-truthful diatribes wrapped around recipes and recommendations for meals that no real Texan would consider ever preparing.
I've always disliked Texas Monthly. However, I worked for years at the Austin Fire Department, and Texas Monthly's head case owner, Mike Levy, used to ride out with Austin EMS all the time. I hate his guts. He'd show up at incidents and start trying to order the emergency personnel around. I got my first taste of journalists fabricating stories when he had Paul Burka write a hit piece on the Austin Fire Department. One of the misrepresentations about the department was that a lift pump wasn't working at one of the stations. The article made it sound like the pump on the fire truck was out. Left out of the article was his personal animosity towards the fire chief, and the fact that the article was a retaliation. Texas Monthly lives up to the journalism standards set by Dan Rather.
