No, when newspapers with lower circulation 250 miles up the road are producing quality journalism today, it's like comparing HEB with a U-TOTEM.

Well somewhat germane to this sidetrack, the Kinder Institute announced yesterday a $20 million grant to fund a nonprofit news organization in Houston.

It'd be nice if they actually stick to this long-term (from the article)...

To that end, the organization will provide all journalistic content for free to all Houstonians and all media outlets. The journalism will be fiercely independent and nonpartisan without editorial control or influence by its funding sources.

We're living in new era of yellow journalism.  Too many "journalists", on all sides, have decided it's ok to put their opinions into news articles either directly or by selectively emphasizing certain things and/or by leaving facts out.  For some of the more subtle items, you can only realize the bias by reading through other reports of the event from divergent sources (while filtering out their biases as well).
