 Going down hill. November 22, 2001

I have subscribed to this magazine off and on for the last 15 years. This magazine is known for the meticulously researched articles on Texas history and local figures. However, it seems that the better quality pieces have become fewer and more far between over recent years. I don't know if the magazine went through a change in ownership or what happened. They still have the occasional jewel but you have to wade through a ton of fluff.

I bought this magazine with high hopes that it would focus on issues pertaining to Texas. It does in part, but there is a blatant political bias in almost all the articles that is not representative of Texas as a whole. The writing in this magazine smacks of elitism under the guise of Lone Star pride (although there have been a few superb articles that defy the norm). If you like ads, this is your magazine. If you like an editor with a political axe to grind, this is your magazine. If you like to line the bottom of your birdcage with something other than newsprint, sadly, this is your magazine.

I have been a subscriber to Texas Monthly for close to 20 years. With that longevity, one might think this would be a 5-star review; however, that is not the case. As a person who loves Texas, I subscribe to virtually all magazines with the word "Texas" in their name. As a result of its extremely liberal, left-wing bias and trash-talking about Texas, I have many times been very close to cancelling my Texas Monthly subscription even before the renewal date. At the last minute, however, they seem to include a great article on interesting Texas travel destinations, top Texas steak houses, etc. and I'm hooked (tricked?) into sending in another renewal. It's hard to understand how a liberal blue-state publication survives in one of the reddest states in the Union. I guess they have enough subscribers from our only blue county (Travis) to support their liberal editorial policy. I know it's hard to believe but the current editor Of Texas Monthly is a Yankee vegetarian! If you want liberal bias, subscribe to Texas Monthly; if you want a great travel magazine with incredible photography; spend your money on Texas HighwaysTexas Highways which, in my opinion, deserves a 10-star rating
