To the editor:
As a 40+ year subscriber to your newspaper, and an appreciative FOX NEWS watcher, I was offended by the message conveyed in the political cartoon titled: COVID-19 PUBLIC SERVICE HEALTH.
TIPS. This followed by four anti-coronavirus guidelines:
1. Wash Your Hands!
2. Don’t Touch Your Face!
3. Practice Social Distancing!
4. Turn Off Fox News!
In the last instance, why make such a stupid recommendation, knowing there isn’t another source of broadcast news afoot these days worth watching?
Seriously.
So much of the print and broadcast media today is anti-Trump in coverage, while Fox News, almost alone, routinely provides conscientious citizens, like myself, with straightforward, accurate news. If I want ‘fake news,’ I can turn to just about any other conventional or cable channel and suffer, as President Donald Trump says, their ‘snarky’ spin on the daily national news, especially that of late about COVID-19.
During these trying times, when everyone — one way or another — is adversely affected, socially and economically, by coronavirus, we must be alert to sources of straightforward, accurate news to help us make wise decisions and take appropriate action.
In my opinion, this need is best served by Fox News broadcasters and radio talk show pundits not associated with Democrat revenge seekers, Never Trumpers, members of the Deep State, even local college journalism professors.
Rather, count me as among Christian businessmen and women throughout central Indiana who work (when we can), vote faithfully in all elections, raise our families — children and grandchildren alike, lead — as in the military and among first responders — when called upon to do so, and today pray for the salvation of America and its’ traditional values.
