You’ll Get Nothing and Like It
Here’s another account of the perils associated with readers attempting to criticize the editorialists from the local newspapers in the Twin Cities. After reading this, I guess I should be happy Brian Lambert and his editors simply ignore my letters.
I am discovering this firsthand. Editors replying to my e-mail criticism figuratively flip me the bird. Their replies range from facile off-puts to character assaults. Politeness does not disturb their hubris. It gets ugly sometimes. One local editorial page writer calls me "friggen Nazi" for what? Criticizing her earnest left-liberal notions. I kid you not; sadly, it’s all too true.
Combined Sunday circulation of the Star Tribune and Pioneer Press, over half a million. Sunday readership of Fraters Libertas - approximately 800 hearty souls. Conclusion - we’re being too nice to our email correspondents.
