[Vision2020] Feeling the need to be patronized?

[Sue Hovey]

As one of the "chattering class to the left of center,"  it's quite a 
stretch the editor would interpret our concerns over the Republican no-shows 
as, "the end of democracy in Latah County."  I don't believe that, and 
certainly it was never even implied--that's the editor's take.    Mr. 
Rozen's spin over our conversation is silly on the one hand and patronizing 
on the other.  There was a concern, one we thought the paper might want to 
address, the conversation was friendly, and I thought the editor was going 
to mull it over and respond or not.  That was fine.  The point was made. The 
resulting editorial leads me to believe that somewhere along the line Mr. 
Rozen matriculated from the Spiro Agnew, "natttering nabobs of negativism," 
school of journalism.

I'm with you Rose. I heard the DN had changed its tune and decided to
renew my subscription -- a month ago and they still have not delivered
a paper! What's worse than a news paper that serves a single party?
One that insults folks from the other party! A summary of Mr. Rozen's
argument: "Progressives don't need to be able to ask questions of
politicians who might serve them because the public has already made
up its mind!" What if the progressive candidates stood up NSA? That
would be uncalled for! Said to live in a town where folks running for
state office feel OK about insulting you and the local paper supports
them and that snotty, elitist attitude.

Please cancel my subscription, DN -- the one that you failed to renew
in time for the election.
