The Story The Houston Chronicle Forgot To Report

You may recall all the histrionics regarding Covid-19 and the Harris County Jail. The same crew went back to the US District Judge who approved of a misdemeanor bond deal last year.

The get out of jail free card crowd ignores public safety, and tries to use the virus panic to stage a massive jailbreak.

The plan was to sue, and strike a deal with the leftists on the Harris County Commissioner's Court, Hidalgo, Ellis and Garcia.

Good news, it didn't work. This time, due to Senator Paul Bettencourt and his Harris County House colleagues, Sam Harless, Dan Huberty, Briscoe Cain, Dennis Paul, Tom Oliverson, James Murphy, Dwayne Bohac, and Valoree Swanson, the intervention of Attorney General Ken Paxton and the active opposition by Democrat District Attorney Kim Ogg, the Judge said no. Your editor was privileged to represent the legislative members in their intervention into the federal jail suit.

This important story was covered by some TV stations in Houston, but the daily paper? Nope. We even did a web search. Its sister paper, the San Francisco Chronicle, covered it via an AP wire story.

Talk about media censorship. The story was covered before the decision, which the Chronicle had editorialized on the opposite side of what happened.

With circulation and the size of the paper in freefall, it's no wonder you only get the "story" they are selling and nothing else. The citizens of greater-Houston are voting with their dollars and they are saying no thanks to their biased, one-sided coverage.
