Two on the cover Re “Weapons of mass deception” (Cover story, by Daniel Walters, Nov. 14): The story by Daniel Walters provided abundant material on reliable sources of information and fact-based news. However, its jumbled data was presented in such a convoluted mish-mash style that it was hard to follow. Somewhere along the line, from Spokane to Chico, Walter’s piece deserved a serious editor. Daniel could be encouraged to follow the wisdom of heavyweight boxing champ Joe Louis: “When a man’s got something to say, he don’t need to take all day to say it.” Charles Geshekter Chico
Given Trump’s achievements and wins for Americans/others—tax, regulatory, prison, immigration,
veterans reform; historical employment and stock market highs; funding for HBCU, technical/ vocational studies, opioid crisis; rebuilding our military while decimating ISIS, sanctioning bad players, and ending endless wars; securing U.S. energy independence while lowering CO2 emissions, accelerating Superfund cleanups, and investing more money for water infrastructure (per EPA); leveling the playing field through fair trade agreements; setting historical highs in the Economic Optimism index; and much more—and the media’s 92 percent to 96 percent negative coverage of Trump for the past three years, Daniel Walters’ article lacks credibility when he blatantly ignores the abject bias and propaganda spewed daily by the mainstream media as the main driver of distortion. If actions speak louder than words, isn’t it time for the
mainstream media to give fair coverage to all the good the Trump administration is doing? John Blenkush Forest Ranch
‘Crazy antics’ Re “An easy out” (Second & Flume, by Melissa Daugherty, As a Camp Fire survivor, over the last several months I have heard from others who survived the Camp Fire and relocated to Chico, too, tell me how surprised they were to find such crazy antics being played out toward certain members of the Chico City Council. For instance, the recall attempts of Karl Ory and Randall Stone from a fringe element of local Trump supporters supposedly unhappy with the results from the last election. Now I just heard they needed to collect [7,600] signatures for Councilman Ory and another [7,600] signatures for Mayor Stone LETTERS C O N T I N U E D
