Op-ed needs to be read by all Americans

Op-ed needs to be read by all Americans

To the Editor:

This letter will by definition have to be somewhat brief to avoid backlash from those seeking bias confirmation for opposing views.

The Sept. 5 op-ed in the New York Times titled, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,” should (but probably will not) be read in its entirety by every American.

As the pundits pick and choose their ideas of the good or bad points in the op-ed, as they attempt to analyze it as biased or unbiased, as they classify it as self-serving or patriotic, I would make only one point. Read the article in its entirety and make up your own mind. Try to ask and answer your own questions. Judge it based on you own beliefs.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
