Presence of Pitts and Bailey underscores paper’s liberalism

Re “Time to take OUR country back” by columnist Leonard Pitts Jr.

Dear The Sun News President Mark Webster,

I've not written in some time now because your paper’s selection of opinion pieces have been so overwhelmingly liberal biased that my response would have been far too opinionated.

First of all, your choice of Issac Bailey as Opinions Coordinator is akin to having Yogi Berra call balls and strikes at a Yankee-Boston baseball game. Sir, do you not know who your audience is? Or is it that you do not care to have fair and honest debates?

Aristotelian logic dictates that both sides learn and grow when both sides are presented. Would you, Mr. Webster, agree?

In his most recent article, Mr. Pitts spews his unabridged hatred of Donald Trump and he calls for activism. What Mr. Pitts fails to realize is that calls for activism is part of the reason why Trump was elected president.

Does he not remember that it was President Barack Obama’s anti-police rhetoric that led to riots in Ferguson and Baltimore? 

Does he not remember the police officers being shot, execution-style, after those anti-police rants?

Does he not understand that honest, hard-working citizens want peace on its streets and reject the criminal behavior we saw during the recent activism in Portland, Oregon?

Mr. Pitts, your team has lost the House, lost the U.S. Senate and lost the White House. The vast majority of people in the United States want unity and prosperity through unity.

Mr. Webster, what is it that you do not understand?

The writer lives in Longs.
