Keep Trump coverage

Sun., Sept. 25, 2016

Regarding Shirley Grossman’s Sept. 14 letter (“Keep Trump off pages”): The job of any good newspaper is to state the news of the day, not to censor or in any way lead their readership into believing one opinion is correct over another.

Her statements themselves have a flavor of “demagoguery” as well as being “irresponsible and dangerous for our country.”

The last time I checked, we are still a nation that supports free speech and freedom of the press, and I appreciate a well-balanced news presentation, so that I, a well-informed citizen, am able to make up my own mind on issues of the day.
