      I'm shocked! The liberals are playing politics, and blaming it on Abbott.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                The five newspapers I quote are 5 of the 6 largest circulation newspapers in Texas. The only paper in the top six which is missing from my list is the El Paso Times, which today published an opinion piece with the title "It is too soon to stop wearing masks".

                Texas must be full of liberals, if the six most popular Texas newspapers have all come out against Abbott's decision to remove the mask mandate.

                  Yeah, I live here - very familiar with them.

                  The media is full of liberals. Especially the disappearing print media.

                    Can you explain why the Donald Trump supporters in Texas refuse to read newspapers? Aren't there ANY conservative newspapers in Texas?

                      A) You'd have to ask them, but you could also ask why they don't suck up pig slop.
                      2) You need to understand the difference between "refuse" and "decline".

                      Aren't there ANY conservative newspapers in Texas?
                      I read a local paper for the obits and the local news - I really don't care what's going on in Austin or Dallas or Houston.

                        The largest newspapers are located in urban areas which are bastions of liberalism.

                          The fact Abbott is getting so much pushback, even within his own state, should be a sign to anyone under the impression everything's going to back to normal as soon as the magical vaccine is distributed.

                            Yeah, Austin, our State Capitol, is frequently described as a blueberry in a sea of tomato soup --- it's notoriously liberal to an extreme.

                              You are confusing the amount of reporting of the event verses how much "pushback" he is actually getting. It's not news to report all the people who are not pushing back.

                                That doesn't really make sense, but okay.
