Letter to the Editor

The Brazosport Facts did run my letter about the voter ID law today, and I'm sure they had to hold their noses to do it.  To their credit, they ran it just as I submitted it with no "Journalistic License" editing. Getting in under the prescribed 200 word limit is tough. I had 1 congratulatory e-mail today, and I don't know if that was from the only person I know that agrees with me, or if he's the only one that read the paper today (besides me).

Next to the "Opinions" page, the most biased parts of the Facts are the "TexasRoundup", WorldRoundup", and the "Nation" (more roundup).  Most of what is "rounded up" here is straight from the DNC.  Some examples would be when a recent blurb said that the GOP "spewed venom", and another that said that President Obama's chief of staff William Daley was resigning, and that he would be replaced by Budget Director Jack Lew, who he called the "clear choice".  What it didn't say was that both are Wall Street Insiders, and Daley (former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's brother), was a little more inclined to bi-partisanship than Obama cared for.

A great piece on the subject in the New Republic  http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/99675/starobin-bill-daley.
