[NOTE: I worked 44 years as a newspaper journalist for the Sarasota (Fla.) Herald-Tribune, and I'm totally disgusted with the way that the publication evolved from a conservative, hometown newspaper to a FAKE-NEWS and BIASED part of the LAMESTREAM MEDIA. And whereas the H-T's Letters to the Editor are dominated by comments from liberals and/or Trump haters, one reader hit the nail on the head in a letter published this morning, and here is the text of what he wrote.]
Editorial pages amplify liberal voices
I don’t know many people who still subscribe to this paper, and I have an idea why.
There are about 150,000 registered Republicans in Sarasota County versus 107,000 registered Democrats, according to the Florida Division of Elections. This split is evidenced by the fact that former President Donald Trump won this area by a wide margin in the past two elections.
Despite this, most of your articles and editorial comments are blatantly biased to the left. I read complaints from some of the same people every 30 days in the letters. Do these people have nothing better to do than complain about Republicans?
With so many more Republicans than Democrats, how is it that most of the editorial content is slanted toward the side that is in the minority?
In my opinion, it can only be one of two things: Either Democrats are a group much more likely to whine and complain or your paper is censoring the editorial page.
Does this paper truly represent Sarasota and Manatee counties? I think not!
