Liberal and proud of it! Talreico DaileyWhy I continue to read this paper I have no idea there is no balance reporting no Republican or conservative thought process at all nothing but the liberal point of view on every item from education to college courses to HISD to ICE to Trump. Your paper is so slanted that it makes me want to cancel.…

DissappointedMy subscription os for digital and Sunday paper delivery. I received the first Sunday delivery, but went out this morning and no Sunday paper. My neighbor has his. No idea why mine did not come. Canceling my subscription today.

Sell itThis is clearly the worst paper in America. Ownership should hire someone who actually cares about the city instead of downing it, and allowing her hires to also down the city…hire people from here, whom grew up here and care about it.
