BIAS: Few letters criticize Clinton

I guess Mr. Gressler is feeling good about his little digs at me. I will admit he got his ammunition by a mistake I made in the letter he is referring to by not mentioning Hillary Clinton. I did not mention her name because two earlier letters about her and a third mentioning her name never made it into print.

The point I was trying to make is there are plenty of liberal letters criticizing Republicans or conservatives and few if none critical of the leading liberal, Hillary Clinton. I do not scan every letter so I cannot say what has or has not been printed, but I have two friends who do check out every letter. I cannot and they cannot remember a single critical letter about Hillary Clinton printed in the CDA Press. Also the CDA Press gave a count of how many of my letters have been printed. Half of them were on other subjects, not liberal vs. conservative.

This is comparing apples to oranges and is deceitful. Let’s see if this letter will make it in the paper since I did dare criticize Clinton. Let’s check if I am right. I call on the CDA Press to publish a tally of how many letters have been pro-Trump and how many anti-Trump. Then do the same about Hillary Clinton. This woman will lie again and again and again. Yet most of the media, print, and news networks cover up or downplay her lies. It would be the opposite for a Republican. As for the liberal writers who base what they say on emotion and opinion, not facts and evidence, I will not respond to them ever again, because it is like having a debate with a brick.
