SR not meeting its duty

The recent piece written by the Spokesman-Review concerning Trump’s calling the press or “fake news” an “enemy of the people.” We need a free press and all should agree with this. However a press that refuses to present both sides of an issue or one, like the SR, that continually presents an ideology that destroys civilizations and kills humanity can rightly be called an “enemy of the people.”

The SR continually presents socialist concepts as beneficial. And the editors of the SR should know that socialism is just communism light. A socialist is just a communist without a gun or the means to enforce his ideology. The problem with socialism is that it works contrary to human nature and therefore always needs to be enforced.

So while all can agree that we need and want a free press, and the Constitution is written to ensure that, the SR is not meeting its constitutional obligation of presenting both sides of our political spectrum and it is continually pushing an ideology that does destroy and is contrary to prosperity and liberty. The SR is an “enemy of the people.”
