Alpine News Denies Advertising Origin Of Statement
In a reply to last week’s Avalanche item about the Eagle Pass Guide controversy, Alpine’s editor says the alarming claim was run as advertising by a zealous supporter of J Turner Terrell. The piece notes no disclosure marked it as advertising and asserts it did not reflect Eagle Pass paper sentiment. The Alpine editor calls the Guide charge of undignified behavior a misread and attributes the paper’s tone to a lively, if irreverent, stance.
