letter to editor icon 4
In reference to the “news story” on page one of your Aug. 24, 2020 publication by Gwen Florio: This piece would have been acceptable as an op-ed on your Opinion Page, but certainly not as a misleading “news” story.
It constantly belabored the point, “where’s Joe,” with a not-so-subtle sarcasm that makes a reader wonder, “what’s the point?”
Aside from the nagging question of why the piece is even newsworthy, it has poor grammar and overtones of political bias.
Perhaps as a former Montana newspaper publisher, I am overly sensitive to such stories, but I am of the understanding that this piece passed muster by an editor somewhere.
All real news stories used to mean something to Montana newspapers, but especially those on page one!
