Houston newspaper says it didn't 'un-endorse' Ted Cruz

[cali]

I said earlier that that was the most half-assed, half-hearted "apology" ever.

assholes.


The Houston Chronicle says it did not "un-endorse" Ted Cruz.

Earlier Wednesday, we wrote about how Sen. Cruz's hometown newspaper in Texas expressed "regret" and voiced it's "disappointment about endorsing the Republican for U.S. Senate." The Chronicle has written a clarification about its editorial, so we're updating our post to reflect that.

The editorial in Wednesday's editions titled, "Why we miss Kay Bailey Hutchison," took Cruz to task for contributing to the "chaotic, hyper-partisan atmosphere" in Washington.

"We did not pull our endorsement of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz," the Chronicle posted Wednesday afternoon on its opinion blog. "Our references to Cruz served to provide context to the Hutchison tribute by emphasizing her ability to reach across the aisle when necessary."

1. Too bad

The un endorsement was a good step for the Chronicle

2. When that excuse for a newspaper

bought out the Houston Post several years ago and shut it down, leaving us with only the Chronicle, I ceased my 20 year subscription to a Houston newspaper.
