Letter: Reporting has been slanted

After years of relentless name-calling, denigrating, vilifying, slanting, spinning and selective printing, The Columbian editor has finally gotten what he wanted: Clark County Councilor David Madore’s election defeat.

Virtually every editorial had some rotten, vicious, demeaning things to say about him. News stories were also virtually 100 percent negative about him. No other community servant has received the level of hatred and hatchet reporting dispensed by the editor and his minions at The Columbian. It was disgusting but entertaining in that Madore shook it off and kept doing what he believed was right in spite of The Columbian.

Now that Madore has been defeated, all that is left of The Columbian is an empty shell with nothing more than stories about the homeless, the free meals, the food pantries, the children, the oil trains and the environmentalists. Nothing about the hard-working taxpayers paying for all this free stuff or people desperate for jobs. The Columbian is going the way of many other obviously left-leaning, progressive newspapers: out.
