The Houston Chronicle last week began its “Say no to Trump” editorial this way: “Presumably, we need to rush this editorial into print before President Trump makes good on his threat to ‘open up the libel laws.’ No doubt his pal Vladimir Putin offers a more appealing media model.”
It is understandable for those in the free-speechin’ business to center their objections to the anti-constitutional GOP front-runner around his serial rhetorical assaults against the First Amendment. The Chronicle is right in seeking to protect “the nation’s hallowed tradition of a free press”
So why, then, did the same editorial board endorse Hillary Clinton?
