News in Austin Texas
News in Austin Texas
I tend to read a few newspapers from different parts of the world to get a broader view of things, but today, I was astounded when I looked at the Austin-American Statesman from a place I lived in for several years. Now Texas is terribly parochial, world news would include 'A Texan broke his pinky finger in Paris', or 'A Texan won an all comers Jellied Ells eating competition in Newton-on-Plean in England'. Get my drift?
But today, headline story was a developer associated with impeached Texan AG Paxton is charged with financial crimes, a decent story, OK.
and
'The Austin City Council approved homeless shelter'
and
'Man yelled gay slur at woman outside Cedar Park gas station before killing her'
but
not one mention of Donald Trump being charged with 37 counts under the Espionage Act, not one!

I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

Re: News in Austin Texas
Not really right there on the front page.
What I thought was glaringly missing was anything to do with the whistleblower and the alien spacecraft news:

Re: News in Austin Texas
or perhaps there was a backlash so they added the story later?
Nothing new to see the main headline on the front pages doing a complete 180 deg turn between 1st and 2nd editions

Regardless, I think Mr 45 being charged should be the opening act

Re: News in Austin Texas
Nah, Trump charged with a criminal act has been done too many times before to make it worthy of a headline
Re: News in Austin Texas
Federal charges this time statts, that's a different animal by all accounts.stattointhailand wrote: ↑June 10, 2023, 2:30 pmNah, Trump charged with a criminal act has been done too many times before to make it worthy of a headline
Mind you, just read a report that indicates "40% of Republicans" will still vote for him.
