Home Opinion Letter to the Editor

We’re smarter because we read viewpoints that aren’t one-sided

Sartell

I hate receiving your publication. Issue after issue all we read about are biased articles in favor of the Left. Don’t try and deny this. In the most recent issue, Nov. 1, you “fact checked” a letter from Judy Noble. Like me, people that read your sources laughed hysterically: PBS, CNN, NPR? Hardly organizations that are politically neutral. Your editors probably think this because this is how you get your news. You never hear the other side.

This is why Republican and Conservatives are much smarter when it comes to politics; WE listen to both sides so we know what’s occurring. Your opinion page shows Dennis Dalman as a “Reporter”. Not even close. Real reporters don’t write opinion pieces bashing one party. Constantly. His Point 4; “Trump is a blatant racist, sexist . . .” blah, blah, blah. Those talking points come from CNN. His sources are people that threw Trump under the bus DURING his presidency.

This drives my point home as to where your staff go for their facts. He signs off in this issue “Make America Kind Again.” Really? His opinion piece today must have been close to 500 words of bashing the beliefs of his political opponents. This is NOT reporting.

Garbage like this is what makes many of your readers wonder why they receive the Newsleader in the first place. But like I said, on my side, we read sources not friendly to just our viewpoint. That’s why we’re smarter.
