Letter: Mansperger op-ed is socialist propaganda

It would be nice if the Tri-City Herald editorial staff would explain to the newspaper’s readers why, exactly, they continue to allow Mark Mansperger a place to publish his socialist propaganda in the Tri-City Forum opinion section.

The editors might explain why they publish statements claiming the U.S. is “neo-fascist,” when Mansperger doesn’t even know what fascism is. Or the editors might explain how “business-friendly conservatives are assaulting democracy” or, especially, how these same conservatives are “suppressing votes and turning our federal government into shambles.”

If the editorial staff are not willing to take on Mansperger, the least they could do is stop printing his nonsense.
