If its crap then all the other papers in the country are also crap. At least 80% of the AAS is local, sports, business, and entertainment news. How biased can that be? Now, what a newspaper can do is select which wire service articles to print in section A and where to place it. The papers in some cities I've visited simply omit anything critical of the Republicans and place the favorable articles right up on the front page. Reminds me of the old Soviet Union. AAS seems pretty even-minded in that respect, they will dish both sides. The editorial page is a different matter. You do realize that an editorial is an opinion by definition, right? And Austin is a liberal city, a progressive opinion is well received. There are plenty of newspapers in the Wall Street Journal mold, AAS is relatively balanced.
