Country blessed to have options for news media

- RED CHANDLER

I find it strange that so little was done about Russian collusion in our last national election. Since the Vietnam War our government agencies seem paralyzed to investigat­e Russian interferen­ce in our news media or universiti­es.

During the Vietnam War our public universiti­es were inundated by communist professors. I personally knew two communist professors who were admitted communist. The only backlash these professors got was from American service people after the war. I’m sure there were many parents disgusted with what their college students were bringing home in the way of left wing propaganda. Parents, like myself, instructed our children, when confronted with this propaganda, to ask the teacher if any of this was going to be on the test? In most cases that question would end the deluge of propaganda.

I first noticed how in depth the propaganda of the schools was when the United States landed a man on the moon. I had my children stay up at night to watch the landing. Weeks later my kids came home and said their teachers had said that it was a fake landing and it never happened. The uproar in my community about this false report from the education department reached a crescendo at a school board meeting.

This country is so blessed to have many news media that we can select to watch or read. There are only a handful of countries that have a choice of what news its citizens can choose. Without these blessings this country could not exist.
