Cragg Hines
Appearance
Cragg Hines is a Washington, D.C. based political opinion columnist. He is currently employed by the Houston Chronicle. Hines is generally regarded to write from a liberal political perspective.
Hines has been employed at the Chronicle since 1972 and served as the paper's Washington bureau chief for almost two decades. He was previously a writer for United Press International.
Hines is noted for his hard hitting and sometimes acerbic writing style. The KSEV radio-affiliated Lone Star Times blog, which is among the Chronicle's most vocal critics, describes Hines as the "most abrasive, pompous, and obese liberal ideologue" on the newspaper's staff.[1]
