Opinion/Letter: Left-wing media is censoring the truth – Seacoastonline.com

Oct. 15 To the Editor:

Lately, if you have noticed, opinion letters submitted to the editor from those on the left have far outweighed those sent in by writers on the right. It has come to my attention that a number of letters forwarded for publication by right leaning writers never made it to print. In recent months, two of my submissions were not published. Reasons given were they either inflammatory or not fact based. For the record, my letters are always steeped in fact and, yes, many contain a certain edge.

In contrast, I look at at letters sent in by those on the left. They are not hard to identify. A great proportion of these letters are merely opinions not backed by any facts. Many are inflammatory and contain lies and innuendos. Just look at submissions made by Robert Azzi. His letters, which contain indecipherable parables, are laser focused when it comes to disparaging the President. Yet, every week or so he is granted space to inject his venom. My last letter countered one of Azzis offerings but the opinion editor never let it see the light of day. I do wonder if the lefts letters are treated in the same fashion.

Now I look at the New York Posts expose which alleges that Hunter Biden got his hands caught in the Russian and Chinese money jars. The question then becomes what did Joe Biden know and when did he know it. If true, Joe Biden instantly becomes a counterintelligence threat to this country. The Russian hoax pales in comparison to possibilities raised here. What is particularly unnerving is the fact this story is being treated in an Orwellian manner by media platforms. It is being censored. The media, corrupt as it is, is all in on Biden winning the Presidency. It is Big Tech that calls the shots on just what news it wants to see and hear. This alone should scare you half to death but I guess if youre left-leaning you care less about the censorship which is now taking place.

Fosters, I believe, is contributing to the censorship issue by cherry-picking what opinion letters it wants to publish. Well thought out letters from the right side of the ledger see the waste paper basket while outrageous letters from the left find their way to print. 1984 has finally arrived and the thought police are roaming around the social media platforms. Soon enough the mantra you might hear is Censorship is the cornerstone of a free society. Is journalism dead? Fosters, look in the mirror and honestly answer the question. Live free or die.
