2011 Shocker: Chron ed board STILL doesn’t like death penalty

Two days into 2011, and just in case you’ve forgotten where they stand, the Chron editorial board reiterates Mrs. Jeff Cohen’s its views on the death penalty:

Guillotine

The death penalty :It’s time for capital punishment to become Texas history

At least one good thing has come of the massive cutbacks in the Chron newsroom, in the form of far fewer Chron Eye For The Death Row Killer Guy installments presented on the news pages. On the down side, there frequently is one guy trying to cover Harris County, the Port, and METRO (just as one ludicrous example of the newsroom being WAY overtaxed).

Too bad the newspaper will never consider a bold move like killing off that useless editorial board (which really had a tough 2010, with so many rewrites of work that appeared elsewhere much earlier and so many odd reversals like these) and using the freed resources to beef up the local news desks.
