Letter: Newspapers cause own problems

When local newspapers disregard and ignore a large percentage of the local subscribers’ religious, patriotic, and political ideals and affiliations, by promoting leftist, progressive candidates and ideas, said publications lose their customers and subscribers.

Thus, when a large nationwide company steps in to take over and streamline or liquidate to attempt to profit, the local community is the big loser.

However, the problem stems from the local newspaper not providing the local customers with the type of product the customers are willing to buy and support.
