It’s always baffled me. How can any news organization report fairly on an election when they endorse one candidate over another?

I lived in the Houston area for a while in the early 1980s.
Both of the major Houston newspapers were Liberal organs. No surprise they would endorse Biden.

They endorsed Biden in 2020, too. And Hillary in 2016. This is “sun rises in the east” news.

Screw the Houston Chronicle. Houston is Nawlins East. RAT City in Texas. All the Katrina “refugees” ran to Houston asking for asylum from Katrina when she flushed the toilet at New Orleans. It’s now a sexual deviant liberal utopia.

We used to get the Houston Chronicle but discontinued getting it years ago AS ITS A TOTAL MOUTHPIECE FOR DEMOCRATS.
YOU CANNOT TRUST THE MEDIA OR DEMOCRATS.

The Houston Crone’s Nickel is so far to the left it would endorse any Demon Crap over any Republican.

GAWD…that was even worse than I expected.
Not even a somewhat reasoned trying to fake being neutral endorsement. An all out kissing ass and licking boots fawning endorsement of Joe Biden.
If I could have read that first I would have given a barf alert.

But what is a “major paper” anymore? Other than Democrats, does anyone believe them or even take them seriously anymore?

A great newspaper can weave disparate groups together... like the New York Times did many decades ago. That’s not the problem...

Does this paper have lots of subscribers or is it just another rag that is “preaching to the choir” of the irredeemable Left?

I don’t know what the Houston Chronicle used to be like but clearly the editorial board is turning left. I subscribed to the more conservative Houston Post until they were absorbed by the Chronic-Ill in the mid-90s.
Since the Chronic-Ill took my favorite columnists from the Post, I let my subscription transfer.
The Chronic-Ill at least used to pretend to be balanced back then and I believed they endorsed W over Gore and again over Kerry.
I ended my subscription when I went overseas to work in early 2004, but I still read it whenever I was home.
By around 2010, the paper had shrunk, most of my favorite columnists had retired or moved on, the quality of writing had deteriorated and I just quit reading it.
I’m surprised anybody reads it anymore, to be honest.

He has, as they say, forgotten more than his presumed Republican rival will ever know. That’s not saying much, and at the same time, it says it all.
>>>Yes, I totally agree, Phoenix8!!!
The last paragraph (above) is exasperating, to put it mildly.
President Trump is literally a STABLE GENIUS & The GOAT POTUS while Potato Head is a nitwit who doesn’t know which way he’s going.

" . . . as well as prevent the "chaos, corruption and danger to the nation"
This is the second time in three days that a leftist source has threatened violence if Trump is reelected. I am still convinced that much of the violence in 2020 had a major motive of creating a sense of chaos and danger which would be blamed on Trump even though the perpetrators were 98% lefties.

Because Newspaper endorsements are so relevant in 2024...

"Why the shift? I think partly generational change among editorial staff. There was an old guard of newspaper people, though left-leaning, that basically supported the idea of being even-handed and presenting multiple viewpoints. That generation was replaced by, let’s call it an “Obama generation,” that has dispensed with any sort of facade of objectivity. I think another factor is declining readership. As younger people turn to the internet, and conservatives balk at liberal rags, there’s a vicious cycle in which newspaper readership continually dwindles down to elderly white liberals."
I think you are spot-on. The MSM went from a leftist bias 20-30 years ago to - beginning about 15 years ago - all-out leftist advocacy, propaganda, and calls for the suppression of dissenting views. With the arrival of Trump, this went off the charts and has now become a state of obsession bordering on psychosis.
