Clay Robison, the Chronicle‘s Austin news bureau chief, moonlights as a hyperpartisan editorialist on weekends.
It’s an arrangement that doesn’t seem to give Jeff Cohen pause, although Texas Media Watch’s Sherry Sylvester has frequently pointed out that it should.
Today, Robison is throwing flames in his typical fashion. This sentence is probably more revealing than he intended, however:
The most obvious is the war in Iraq, which is producing divisions in America that are beginning to remind us of the Vietnam era.
Us?
You’re not speaking for me, Mr. Robison.
Maybe you intended to refer to coworkers at the Chronicle? Or perhaps you were referring to liberals who oppose any projection of American power abroad? Or maybe you were referring to supporters of Senator Kerry?
But please, be specific about the groups YOU are affiliated with. And please don’t include me in that “us.” Thanks!
