My in-laws took the Houston Chronicle when delivery to Trinity, Texas began. My mother-in-law was still reading it at 100. When we moved there, we began taking it. A few weeks ago, management decided not to deliver it to Trinity anymore. Some days I get three or four at a time. Other days I get nothing. As a journalism major, I like fresh news and to pick up a newspaper and read it. I'm sorry that you decided to discriminate against Trinity. Mary Ellen Thornton

I am disgusted by the obviously one sided liberal agenda in the reporting. The Chronicle has lost any sense of fair reporting that the media was known for in the past. I’m very close to canceling my subscription. As soon as I find a good source of sports information I will probably do so.
