Truth missing from article

Sun., Dec. 13, 2015

What is missing from The Spokesman-Review’s Dec. 9 front page treatment of Donald Trump? The truth is missing.

He proposed “temporarily” halting Muslim immigration until safety issues are worked out. Not mentioning that part of his proposition in the lead amounts to a lie by omission (See the Dec. 9 Wall Street Journal for an example of how it is done).

And enough with the near daily indoctrination about weather, guns and other leftist causes. The propaganda gets tiresome. Do your job for a change, and print the whole truth, not just your side of it.
