To the editor:
Thank you, Ken Birkemeier, for your letter re “the veiled threat” to candidate Biden. I, too, have been dismayed by the acrimonious tone of the political diatribes being published in the letters to the editor of your newspaper. Your stated policy is to “avoid name-calling, accusations of criminal activity and second and third hand statements of fact.”
You have recently published letters referring to the coronavirus being spread deliberately by a Chinese lab, and this week, “sleeping mayors.”
Please don’t allow our beloved local newspaper to spread disinformation and fuel partisan division!
By the way, guest columnists Brian Howey and Mark Franke always give thoughtful measured opinions; thanks for publishing them.
Respectfully,
Christine Eickleberry, Grandview Ridge
