It has been said that “the fewer the words, the stronger the message.” In the normal course of a conversation, that saying may be most appropriate. When it comes to news reporting, it appears that so-called journalists have taken that saying to a whole new level. They’re not saying anything at all.

The decision to omit reporting on recent major stories such as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s accusation of treason by the Obama administration in 2016 illustrates the cowardly direction this paper has taken. There are those who only get information from your paper. This explains why we have so many “low-information” voters.
