Controlling what the public sees on news media comment boards has become an ever greater concern for censors, er, editors. Certain uncooperative readers have increasingly insisted on inserting comments that not only express opinions which are beyond the bounds of acceptable discourse in a multiracial, multicultural society, but have also increasingly insisted on inserting racist facts which are irrelevant to stories, and also beyond said bounds. Said readers have forced censors, er, editors, hands.

This is SO infuriating. These liberal fascists are bound and determined to make the people see things the way THEY see things and cover up what is really going on with these cases.
I live in Austin. I could write about this at length, but I gave up on the Statesman a long time ago. To tell the truth, I used to like reading newspapers. But the AAS has proven itself to be way too liberal and biased. This story doesn't surprise me.
Back in the 90s, my ex-wife had a state job that took her out of Austin on a regular basis. She once remarked that non-Austin newspapers often had more thorough coverage about Texas legislative affairs than did the Austin American-Statesman. An interesting observation, considering that my ex wasn't a conservative woman.
Remarkably, the article that you wrote this very useful and helped me ..
thank you
