Editor,

Unfortunately it is becoming more and more obvious that the Whidbey News-Times is just another left wing propagandist publication. Regular lengthy opinion articles by Marxist Michael Seraphinoff is the ultimate insult to your readers. I note that he is a former professor at Skagit Valley College. No doubt another educator indoctrinating students with far left political bias instead of educating and teaching them to think for themselves.

Add to that your far-left political cartoons. Many based on outright falsehoods. On Feb, 22, the cartoon infers Elon Musk is going to end up with your Social Security number in hand. Where does that come from? From DOGE’s investigation into all the stolen tax money being paid out on un-cancelled Social Security cards? On Feb. 26, Putin has a picture in his office of President Trump? Highly unlikely. Twisting the facts, even in a political cartoon, to influence people is a very dishonest act. These fraudulent twisted facts are absolutely sickening and totally without humor.

You folks need to wake up. The country is getting back on track with President Donald Trump’s leadership. If you want to keep your subscribers, I strongly recommend that you dump the Liberal/Marxist bias. At least be even-handed. Support all the great things that the president has set out to accomplish. America is changing (for the better). Even large numbers of diehard traditional Liberals realize the Democrat party has left them and they are beginning to vote Republican. That may be disappointing for you to hear……but fortunately that is a fact. So let your publication reflect it. You can start by publishing this letter.
