The Statesman has at various times been accused of being "liberal" (existing as it does in the liberal city of Austin), but its editorials actually show it to be an amalgam of liberal philosophy combined with strong pro-business sentiment. In this, it reflects the Texas heritage of focusing on business, a history of being Democratic (despite the state's current Republican control and growing Austin suburban conservatism) and the local strong high technology presence. The newspaper does not typically endorse libertarian or conservative political candidates; however, it did endorse George W. Bush in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. The Statesman also tends to provide fair coverage of Libertarian Party and Green Party matters. The Democratic Party is one of two major political parties in the United States, the other being the Republican Party. ...

The Libertarian Party is an American political party founded in 1971. ... In United States politics, the Green Party has been active as a third party since the 1980s. ...

The Austin-American Statesman competes with the Austin Chronicle, an alternative weekly. The paper tends to print Associated Press, New York Times and Los Angeles Times international and national news, but has strong central Texas coverage, especially in political reporting. The Statesman benefits from the culture and writing heritage of Austin, and sometimes features internationally known writers such as Molly Ivins, Kinky Friedman and others. It extensively covers the music scene, especially the annual South by Southwest Festival. The newspaper co-sponsors various charity events around Austin such as the Austin Marathon.
