Amazingly one of the reasons given is the USA has the best post - covid economy in the world of developed nations. Could have fooled me as when we go to the store and pay 100 dollars more for a weeks groceries than just a few years ago (for 2 people!!!) while our pay might be 50 dollars higher per week.
I will also add the Chronicle endorses Sheila Jackson Lee in the primary—The same Lee who just recently tried to pass an anti “white supremacy bill” basically a thought crime law.
I don’t know what the Houston Chronicle used to be like but clearly the editorial board is turning left.
all the major papers in Texas will do that, they are just the first to be publicly stupid.
Dude… it’s Houston… it’s been overrun by New Orleanians and has a Democrat lesbian for mayor who promptly used her position of power to attack and imprison Republican politicians in her town for wrongthink.
The HC was lefties when I lived there 35 years ago, some thing just don’t change
“I don’t know what the Houston Chronicle used to be like but clearly the editorial board is turning left.”
It seems to me that most newspapers are farther left than they used to be. Twenty or thirty years ago, even the San Francisco Chronicle had a token conservative columnist and ran syndicated stuff from the likes of Pat Buchanan. Now, the paper is 100% liberal advocacy, basically where Mother Jones was in the ‘80s.
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.
The Chronicle’s endorsement carries much less weight than does their complete propaganda on all the other pages.
For instance, their sports pages will include bits about “global warming,” police brutality, racism in sports, etc. The entertainment pages will be full of bits of progressive BS in every other paragraph. And so on.
Houston? My shocked face....😴
It’s simple.. Cities = Liberals so no surprise.
It’s true I went to the Houston Chronicle, although I can’t read the article as they have a pay wall.
>>>Here you go:
They are comparing the US economy to those of the EU which are in frank recession. Pretty low bar for bragging rights.
Maybe it’s time to start sending all the illegals to Houston.
Newspaper endorsements have marginal meaning at best these days.
Houston has been overtaken by the lying brainless bots known as Democrats.
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.
Chronicle to file chapter 11 in what...12 months?
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.
The Houston Crone’s Nickel is so far to the left it would endorse any Demon Crap over any Republican.
