Re: Houston Chronicle - Packing a gun at your business sends the wrong message

Charles L. Cotton wrote:The Houston Chronicle is a Hearst Newspapers, LLC liberal rag. They rarely post/write/distribute an even-handed honest article about anything dealing with family values, abortion, conservative position on issues, guns or self-defense. Its paper subscriptions took a major dive years ago and I've been told this has not changed. That's why they rely more and more on the website at http://www.Chron.com for advertising revenue. Apparently, there's even a subscription-based web access section, but I have not confirmed that for obvious reasons. I quit reading their website simply because I do not want to contribute to their "click count" it uses to seek advertisers.
They sold off their downtown office building (since flattened to make room for a parking lot) and retreated to the old Houston Post facility by 610 & 59. They've been laying off staff & shrinking by attrition for years. Last week they fired their in-house editorial cartoonist, Nick Anderson, and won't be replacing him. I used to hang out w. Nick socially; fun guy until the conversation turned to politics. I think he quit hanging out with me because of that; he could barely conceal his disdain for anyone who just 'didn't get it' (the obvious superiority of Progressive Wisdom).
