The Plainsman is dying, and we thought YOU should know.
Is the Houston Chronicle the usual dying leftist rag? I have no idea of its politics.
YES! Filth, take a holiday!
One of the worst. Owned by Hearst Newspapers.

Somethings gotta give at S.F. Chronicle
Allow me to quote Dr. Raoul: BIAS = LAYOFFS. And the Houston Chronicle is one of the very worst when it comes to bias. They aren’t even original or clever about it, but practice “me too” journalism, slavishly following the Wash Post and NYT. These reporters and editors are getting what they so richly deserve. I hope the Chron goes down in big, roaring flames.
Raoul's Second Law of Journalism
Ignoring Bias = Bankruptcy
Many people have stopped reading newspapers because of the inherent left-wing bias that is constantly shown in many, many newspapers. People want to be educated about both sides of the issue, not preached to. As Roger Ailes said to journalists..”If there isn’t anything in your piece that you disagree with, it’s probably biased”.
I see many, many one-sided pieces of journalism. Why is that? As Bill O’Neil of Investors Business Daily speculates, they probably learned that bias in journalism schools.
What this country needs is a national newspaper called “Both sides now”, (remember Murrow?) and have a two-sided, completely unbiased newspaper that can educate us on the issues
Ahhh Galveston. One of the very few places where the municipal workers have completely privatized social security and will get about triple the retirement benefits than a comparable person on SS.
Democrats killed that plan after Galveston and Texas counties got through the privatized door before it was slammed shut bu the Dems.
re: The Plainsman.....
“We have lost confidence in the current management of the business side to reverse this dangerous trend. “
This is from the editorial staff and is a very interesting statement. The writer, presumably a student, soon to be expecting a job at a newspaper has no clue. You could do him a great service by e mailing your Dinosaur Media archives.
Unlike my fellow FReepers who are worth the effort to inform and interact with, this future "journalist" is not. He cannot be taught. It's just as well he proceed on to his future career as a Wal-Mart Greeter. Maybe one sunny Saturday morning while watching the automatic doors slide open and shut, he'll figure it out...
Typical leftist leaning in its Editorial pages and writers and its political news items are consistently laced with leftist biased opinions and is constantly liberally slanted. The Chron would rather close than make the necessary changes to keep itself afloat if that is at all possible at this late stage.
This is really serious — if Pravda on the Bayou goes belly-up, what would little puppy dogs piddle on?
You know, it’s awfully hard to cut ten percent of just one person.
I sure hope it gets that bad there soon.
