Letter To Editor About Letter To Editor
Dear Editor,
I recently subscribed to the online version of the N&R for 99 cents for 3 months. It has been eye opening to read the stilted news they print and, even worse, the letters they publish! In early January, I tried to rebut one of those letters but their editors did not have the guts to print it. I wonder if you might print my response instead. Here goes:
To the N&R Editor,
On Jan. 5, 2022, you published a letter claiming four words were the reason for slow postal service. The words included a man’s title and name. There was no reasoning, no facts to back it up, just one person’s opinion. Maybe the writer was part of the unfounded 2020 protest at the postmaster general’s residence as well. (By the way, did anyone ever expose that campaign to reveal it was all a ruse to allow fraudulent elections? The Dems are quite good at fear mongering: The mail is slow! Covid is deadly! Extend voting calendars! Don’t vote in person! Some people don’t know how to get an ID to vote! Result: Some courts overruled ID requirements, rules changed and lots of fake ballots were collected to sway the election. Now Dems want to federalize voting to ensure future fraud!)
I’m very curious, would the N&R publish a letter stating, “the Chinese virus plaguing the world is all because of two words: Dr. Fauci”? It would be irresponsible to do so but perhaps if backed with some factual reasoning it could arguably be printed.
Opinions belong on the editorial page but not if they can’t be defended by at least one fact. Yet some AP stories you run include all sorts of opinions. As Joe Biden once yelled at an attendee of a citizen gathering, “Get your facts straight, Jack!” And if you can’t get your facts straight, then why should I continue my subscription in my quest for truth?

You paid 99 cents for the N&R?
It all goes to show the N&R is pathetic. They have a mindset which says “they” are the arbiters of truth, and will not publish anything with which they disagree. They use Leonard Pitts as their icon of truth, but he’s brainwashed thinking anyone who doesn’t think like he does, is unworthy of discussing any topic. It is no wonder the N&R has all but disappeared from the news landscape these days.
Lynn Henson,
I AGREE WITH YOUR EDUCATED ASSESSMENT of the Greensboro News and Record!
We call it fishwrap in my household.
Their reporting is so tainted with the hard left narrative that it angers me to know there are actually people out there that are eargerly indoctrinated by their propaganda.
They’re in the category of the Washington Post & NY Times – which is no complement!
Check out who owns them, that will explain
a LOT!

Having published it here, they will not. Can you back up your “Dr. Fauci” statement with facts?
I submitted the letter to N&R first and they would not print it. Thankfully the RT allowed my view to be made publicly. My point was that it was irresponsible of N&R to print something against a local business person without any facts backing it up. If the writer had provided facts, then I could choose to rebut them. I was opining about the N&R’s irresponsibility so of course they didn’t want to face FACTS. (I gave an similar example with the Chi-Vi. I can provide a few facts about Fauci’s complicity but no one is solely responsible for this. Fauci was a big player in it along with Ralph Barric, Peter Dszack, EcoHealth, The WHO, China and who knows who else and most of it funded by us, US taxpayers! It’s criminal!)
Recently divulged emails, sued for by WaPo no less, shows that Fauci DID pay for gain of function research. He had denied that.
Right on Lynn!
I totally agree with your N&R assessment. The N&R rag is a total waste of a precious tree’s life and the paper that is obtained.
Trump lost. Big! There was no mass fraud. You are the one fear mongering to please the ego of a fat orange man.
That is probably the same person who put that on the Next Door App. Some people just don’t want other people in this world. Mail has been slow and losing billions way before the current Postmaster General came on board.
Only because Bush made them to prefund their pension and retirement health plans as no other agency in the US government is required. Republicans just want to privatize mail for their buddies but no private company would provide the global services (ie including non-profitable markets) that the US postal services handles.
Fed-Ex, Amazon, and other companies can have your letter delivered in one day to anywhere in the world. Of course, it will cost you more to do that.
That opens up another point. The majority of mail handled by USPS advertising vs a letter from a friend, parents, etc. Big business will fight to the end to keep the USPA fees low versus allowing the market place to decide the real value.
Big business doesn’t have to provide same service to all locations. Heck they don’t even HAVE to provide service at all to locations that wouldn’t be profitable. But again, the USPS would be profitable is they weren’t the only US Agency that had to pre-fund all of it’s pension and retiree health benefits. This was a policy by Bush to break the back of the USPS for his buddies.
I very much agree the News and Record is extremely biased. When Trump won the election Susan Ladd wrote a column. Something to the effect of What do I tell my daughter now. The premise was that Hillary got cheated because she was a woman. I countered that Hillary lost because she was an unpopular candidate, even my mother, a lifelong Democrat, would not vote for her. The pushback was over the top. Her husband, a Professor at A&T, threatened me with physical violence. So next time you engage with a Liberal Deomcrat, make sure they have had their rabies shots first.
@Gary1955, I responded to Susan Ladd’s inanities as follows (and the N&R didn’t print it. No surprise).
After Donald Trump’s win over Hillary Clinton, Susan Ladd wondered what she should tell her daughter. Here are some ideas:
The world does not revolve around either one of us. There are other people who have other opinions. That does not make them evil. Sometimes they are right and we are wrong.
In any election, someone wins and someone loses. Sometimes we lose.
Life isn’t fair. Get used to it.
Birth control paid for by someone else is not a right. Pregnancy is neither an accident nor a disease. Abortion is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.
The media sometimes tells only part of the truth, sometimes distorts the truth and sometimes lies. The newspaper I work for does all three.
Money doesn’t grow on trees. If you want something, get a job and work for it.
There is no free lunch. There are no free cell phones. There is no free health care.
We don’t get money from Washington. Washington gets money from us.
We criticize Republicans for gerrymandering. We didn’t criticize Democrats for gerrymandering. That makes us hypocrites.
The world will not quit turning on January 20th. It may actually improve for all of us.
Well said.
Trump lost. That is a fact, not an opinion.
Sorry, Jeff, you and Chris are not tracking with the rest of us. Reread the letter and maybe you can see the main issue at hand.
Tracking well. You are asking if the NR publishes lies spewed by the alt right media types. Nope. They don’t. Still not a very good paper as news papers are mostly dying.
Hey Jeff, Trump lost according to who you’re talking to. How did he lose? Was it fair, legal and without interference? I believe not. I feel for anyone who sees what we have in the White House and still thinks it’s ok that the great USA is being dismantled piece by piece and driven off the proverbial cliff. You will never convince me (and I feel sure many others) that JB received 80M votes – Never!! Next time you vote for a president, keep your eyes open when you check that box.
Where is all this fraud? Use of mail in ballots helps drive participation but no evidence of fraud has been found. People voted against Trump not for Biden. I have no doubt the US would be in worse shape under Trump and his authoritarian mindset. No doubt. Just as we see in Republican dominated states, banning books, banning discussion of diversity, promoting violence against public officials you disagree with, greater consolidation of wealth to the 1%, etc…
Great post! Fair elections may be a thing of the past!
Things in the Democrats H.R.1 and H.R.4 Bills will corrupt our elections forever!
They allow the illegal aliens who have invaded our Southern Border to vote! They ban keeping records for audits! They eliminate showing valid photo IDs! Ballot harvesting should be eliminated! Ballots counted should not exceed the number of registered voters in the district!
God help us all.
Biden was selected…..not elected!
He spent his first weeks in office revoking President Trump’s accomplishments!
Revoking what was working doesn’t seem to be working!
He should have secured the air base in Afghanistan and removed our people and weapons first! Our troops should have left last! He shut down our Keystone Pipeline and gave Russia the Dorn Stream Pipeline which serves Europe.
He closed our schools and opened our Southern Border so illegal aliens from everywhere can flood our country! Our taxpayers are being forced to support them!
God help us all.
Executive orders are NOT accomplishments. They are what a leader does when he cant legislate.
No, Jeff, that’s your assertion, which is not the same as a fact. 81 million ballots for the vegetable should not be confused with or equated with 81 million legitimate votes.
Lynn your 99 cents would have been better spent on a roll of toilet paper.
Or fishwrap.
And. . . . where is the comments from Chris? Crickets.
Somebody needs to get their glasses check Joe!
Commie Chris, let me hit on a few of your misinformation’s. First, where is the fraud? I’ve already answered this fr yu idiot! One more time, it is ILLEGAL for an electing board to change a states votng LAWS ( I know you Leftwing commies hate laws) that is reserved for duly elected representatives. Two, if you believe dopey joe and the lady joker( Insert insane laughter here) got 80 + million votes, even more than the head socialist Barry in 2008! Tell the Easter bunny hi for me, idiot! Manipulating the mail was the plan and the convenient timing of the virus release by joes Chinese buddies seems suspect at best. Next let’s talk about big tech and their blocking of certain facts like crackhead Hunters laptops adthe irrefutable evidence of a compromised direct contact to a Vice President and a candidate for the presidency!!! Wow! Anyone that typed in Hunter was blocked by these social(ist) media propagandist. Yet they and the propaganda wing of the democrat party, the mainstream media released reports (lies) that it was “Russian disinformation” Ha! If it weren’t so distructive it would be funny. The democrat party is full of idiots and scoundrels just like you Chris. On to your alleged book ban. The book is not banned it was removed from the elementary schools by your comrades on the left (anti-semites) that are still but hurt over the removal of their homo/ trans phonographic books from schools due to the obvious violation of child sonography laws. I know I know you socialist commies hate when the law is against you. I love it!
Obama 3.0 is obviously a continuation of his two swings at dividing and destroying this GREAT NATION. Hawaii? Sure man! Whatever you think or say. One more thing puckhead, where is your evidence of anyone encouraging violence against elected officials? Maybe you should talk to you comrades in Washington D.C. doing one more witch trial and get Nancy Pelosi on the stand and TESTIFY WHY she refused the National Guard when they were APPROVED BY TRUMP!!! You really are a idiot. Open our schools, close our southern border, stop guilt tripping our kids to divide them (real racism) and stop allowing politics judges from overriding the will of THE PEOPLE like with voter ID which THE PEOPLE of North Carolina voted on and APPROVED! Democrates are evil people and as proved by Dopey Joe, knees Harris, um Psaki no of course you, Incompetent IDIOTS!
Say her name… Ashli Babbitt!!!!
Changing the rules isn’t fraud. It is what is done by all parties when ever they have the majority. I love how you nutters change the narrative evertime your conspiracy theories don’t pan out.
Damn! My post has almost as many misspellings as commie chris’ Posts… I’ll do better.
It really doesn’t matter. Most nutters don’t really read that well anyway cuz they don’t believe in education.
Commie Chris, ironic isn’t it? You believe in education but are dumb as a bag of ball bearings. By the way squirrel turd, it isn’t changing rules, they VIOLATED ELECTION LAWS WRITTEN IN THE STATE CONSTITUTION! Cheating is still cheating even if an over educated dolt like you calls it whatever you want to call it. It is truly amazing how you Leftwing nut job socialist commies can go to college your whole lives and never seem to be smarter than my Labrador Retriever. Says a lot about these indoctrination camps (universities) and the libtards they hire to be professors. Maybe you should see about getting your mommies money back. One more thing numb nuts, will you and the rest of you Leftwing whiners please stop using the judicial branch to do what you socialist/commies can do through legislature. Voter ID was voted for on the ballet by the people of N.C. Get the hell out of the way! The problem you communist have with voter I’d is YOU CAN’T CHEAT!!!! You’re a louse!
