[Vision2020] Daily News Cancellation Letter

[DonaldH675 at aol.com]

Dear Nathan Alford,

When I opened the D.N. this morning and saw  (once again) an op ed 
piece written by Ed Iverson, New St. Andrews  College librarian, I realized 
that it was time to cancel my subscription to  your newspaper.   
 
I appreciate the journalistic obligation of the Daily News to include  
conservative perspectives on local, national and international  issues.  Latah 
County is  fortunate to have a number of  intelligent, well-informed conservatives 
who could ably fill this role;  residents with substantial knowledge of the 
region, long,  well-documented records of community service, and proven literary 
 skills.   Sadly, you have deliberately overlooked many eminently  suitable 
candidates in order to provide a public platform for a  know-nothing newcomer 
who hectors, lectures, and attempts  to proselytize on behalf of Douglas J. 
Wilson.   The  selection of Ed Iverson as a regular columnist demonstrates a 
critical  lapse of judgment on your part and a profound failure of imagination  
and sensitivity to local issues on the part of your editorial  staff.   It is 
apparent that the DN editors do not  serve you, or your newspaper well, Nathan.  
 
A newspaper and its editorial board need not endorse or even  embrace
a liberal, progressive agenda to please me.  However, I do expect  that at 
least a half-hearted, semi-professional attempt will be  made to provide balance 
on the editorial page. It baffles and  repulses me that you have chosen (for 
what ever reason) to employ  a devotee of Doug Wilson as a regular columnist.  
What in  the world, or, perhaps I should ask who in the world, persuaded you  
that Ed Iverson was an appropriate or worthy   choice?    

Fortunately, your father has not completely capitulated to the  charmless 
persuasion of Doug Wilson, Roy Atwood,  much less Ed  Iverson. Subsequently, I 
will rely on the Lewiston Tribune  for Moscow news.  
 
Sincerely,
Rose Huskey
