The Chronicle‘s three partisan staff editorialists must be worn out from all the electioneering and “bad guy” articles they’ve penned through the election season.
That’s the best explanation I can manage for today’s “recollection series,” in which Clay Robison recalls Governor Bush’s efforts at tax reform in Texas, Rick Casey recalls his time as a non-Harris County grand juror, and Robison further recalls various Texas election challenges (a double shot of Robison).
While it’s not especially groundbreaking or exciting journalism (although Robison seems way out there with his speculation of what might happen to Republicans IF they vote for a new election in the Heflin/Vo race IF Heflin contests the election — so many IFs would suggest to good editors this story isn’t ripe for publication yet), it’s at least not offensive journalism.
Even Cragg Hines seems to have dialed down the rhetoric on the editorial page today.
We’re happy to applaud such baby steps from those three columnists. Maybe more trips down memory lane are in order for at least two of them. Whatever it takes!
