Letters to the Editor

Letter: Thanks for stance on “fake news”

I knew that hundreds of newspapers across the country planned to unite on Aug. 16, publishing editorials against President Trump’s continuing assaults on journalists and the First Amendment. I wondered if the Herald would take a stand on Trump’s “fake news” and “enemy of the people” assaults against our free press, given what I read in the occasional letters that seem to support such activities.

The Herald published an editorial as one of the newspapers in The McClatchy Co.! I wanted to quote something in my letter from the editorial, but there are just too many good choices to choose from.

Thank you for putting the thoughts of so many into words.
