On: A former slave who became a cowboy, a rancher, and a Texas legend

Surprising because I know quite a few Texans that do enjoy Texas Monthly. Please share some facts.

Edit: Happy to be wrong, I am sure the magazine has change over the years, it is an old publication but I always found it to be actually pretty "left" if you will especially regarding Texas politics. Again I have not read all of the publication so who knows but the magazine in my timeline has always been fairly critical of the government taking out apart the public schools and other related themes.

What specifically about it? The problem with using the Alamo as an example is for too long of a damn time Texas was teaching these myths in the public school system. That example feels more systemic than the specifics of the modern TM publication being race baiting trash.

I just meant that TM is hardly alone in questioning the old Alamo myth. I guess that makes Time race baiting trash in the views of some.

Which point of view is the myth?

I guess it depends on the number of outlets repeating it?

And yes it does to answer your question about Time Magazine, one in the same really.

At one point Time Magazine was a good publication, not in the last decade though. (in my opinion incase that needs to be stated)
