Questioning news sources and coverage
There is no debate that a few liberal elite families living in the Hamptons and Vineyards own the major news networks in our country. They socialize on weekends and plan their next step in their “Resist” efforts. The Spokesman-Review prints what the WAPO, NYT, AP, ABC, etc., brain trust wire to your desk. The choices for your political, world, U.S. editors are overwhelmingly liberal-progressive view points.
Looking about, this region of the country trends toward conservative thought and rejects bigger government, more regulations, higher taxes and a weaker position on global security and economic fronts. The letters to the editor are an interesting assortment. The majority address resistance to conservatism. Conservatives are reluctant to “counterresist” for obvious reasons, i.e. identity politics accusations, lack of empathy, fat cats, etc. More conservatives are relocating in the Inland Northwest, exiting blue states.
The media professions’ ethical rank is at a historical low. Enlighten and earn back lost integrity. There are sources other than Drudge and Breitbart news and opinions to evaluate for print.
