Letter: End double standard

By Monty Winton, La Center
Published: February 19, 2021, 6:00am

The lack of investigative journalistic integrity and the double standard on the left is breathtaking. The left has fanned the flames with antifa and Black Lives Matter. Allowing the burning, looting, and deaths of law-abiding citizens, homes and businesses calling them mostly peaceful protesters. These are well-organized and funded terrorist groups, closing access off to cities all across the country. Democrats refused to let the National Guard in for protection and told local law enforcement to stand down. When the media ends this double standard of reporting, we can begin to heal.
