The Biden scandal

- Ted Burhenn Hot Springs

Dear editor:

Recently the New York Post released

shocking informatio­n in Joe Biden’s alleged connection with the scandal in Ukraine. But this is not in the news because the Main Stream news will not carry the story including this paper because The Associated Press won’t cover it. Twitter blocked it and Facebook restricted it. I am reminded of a story about President Trump who jumped into a lion’s den at the zoo and rescued a baby. The headline, “Trump steals meal from starving lion.”

So it is with most every article accredited to The Associated Press. They cannot be satisfied with reporting the news without adding commentary. We would like to hear the real news, not the Russian collusion now determined to be fake. Yes, we should have heard the story but we also as Paul Harvey would have said, “the Rest of the Story.” Did anyone headline that story? No. Suddenly it just faded away like the Hillary e-mail issue smashed — death by hammer.

How are we to make an educated decision about candidates when the news outlets flagrantly only report favorable stories about their favorable politician­s? In today’s fast world of internet and 24 hour TV news we are no longer satisfied getting the Pueblo Chieftain delivered by mail one week after publicatio­n like I enjoyed as a child. “Little House on the Prairie” was satisfied with stories about Nellie Oleson’s love life but we have widened our interest worldwide. We want to know if the COVID was released on the world intentiona­lly. We want to know if Trump colluded with the Russians and if he did not. And we want to know if Joe Biden was peddling vice presidenti­al influence on behalf of Hunter. We also need to know if he didn’t, if and when that is determined.

Now my limitation­s are Dear Abby, Comics, Obituaries and Letters to the Editor. My pet parakeet died years ago.
