Dems bounds the travel of info erstwhile it suits them

Westfield, Mass.: The Daily News editorial astir Meta and however it is changing with the caller medication (“Facebook’s about-face connected speech,” Jan. 13) is similar watching a replay of Joe Biden’s farewell speech. It’s astir similar the Daily News wrote the farewell code for Biden, oregon possibly Biden wrote this editorial for the Daily News. On 2nd thought, Biden hasn’t been susceptible of putting 2 sentences back-to-back successful years, oregon adjacent speechmaking them from a monitor, truthful I fishy it’s the former, arsenic you are nonrecreational journalists.

Mark Zuckerberg said that the Biden medication called his unit demanding which stories could beryllium told and which could not. That medication and its peddlers of lies and censorship needed to person the efficacy of vaccines told their way, and the damning laptop showing payola from enemies withheld. The $400 cardinal that Zuckerberg sent to Biden was not truthful overmuch a donation arsenic a tribute that besides came with rules of the concern roadworthy for Meta. This was to get Biden elected, past to warrant his failures for 4 years. The alleged fact-checkers were told which marks to deed and which to purpose debased astatine oregon simply ignore.

The editorial chooses to disregard what Zuckerberg present says due to the fact that it shines a dim airy connected the integrity of the escaped press. If it had been escaped and honest, this portion would not person been printed. The escaped property winds are blowing otherwise today, and The News doesn’t overmuch similar it due to the fact that it is facing the falsehood headwinds of the disinformation it utilized regular for years erstwhile Facebook played by the expected rules.

Inconsistent with law

Kew Gardens: President Trump ordered the firing of the elder prosecutors who worked with Special Counsel Jack Smith connected the classified documents and the Jan. 6 insurrection cases. The crushed for these firings fixed by our quality media was that they could not beryllium trusted to enactment the president’s ineligible agenda. Aren’t lawyers expected to basal their ineligible arguments connected the Constitution and ineligible precedent alternatively than the idiosyncratic docket of a president? Be warned, America. Glenn Hayes

Boyish comments

Monroe, N.J.: I americium truly not amazed by Voicer John F. Rossano penning astir the faces of Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins arsenic they voted against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s confirmation. He wrote, “They were stone-faced.” Maybe that’s due to the fact that they were superior astir preventing an incompetent and mediocre relation exemplary from taking office. He besides wrote the derogatory statement, “Get a life, girls, oregon retire.” Girls — really? Come retired of the 1950s, if you dare, and spot these women arsenic those who are against the worshiping of “boys” successful Congress and trying to supply our state with a just and conscionable enactment process. I conjecture you are each pursuing the king, boys! Katherine A. Moloney

Historic revision

Bronx: The gaslighting of America is everlastingly etched into American history. Jan. 6 ne'er happened. What we saw documented connected tv was really a rally of acrophobic Americans exercising their law rights. These tourists did not onslaught Capitol Police officers, they were defending themselves aft being provoked by these aforesaid police. No 1 was truly wounded beyond a fewer bruises, and immoderate harm done to the Capitol Building was purely accidental. Our beloved president, who ne'er lies, has rightly described these victims arsenic patriots and hostages, and arsenic further proof, Trump has pardoned these wrongly convicted patriots. They are blameless! Yes, America has been gaslit, and determination is much to travel successful the adjacent 4 years. Fasten your seatbelts. Gilbert M. Lane

Name games

Kearny, N.J.: With Trump’s penchant for hitting the small achromatic ball, I’m amazed helium doesn’t privation to alteration the Gulf of Mexico to the Golf of America! Kevin Dale

Low blows

Brooklyn: Voicer Barbara Berg seems disturbed astir my urging radical to enactment late-night speech amusement hosts retired of concern due to the fact that they ridicule Trump. Sarcastically, she suggests that possibly we should enactment retired of concern others who prevarication connected TV. Berg is comparing apples to oranges. Lying is not the issue, though there’s a batch of it connected the quality and speech shows. The contented is simply a barrage of vicious invective against Trump implicit galore years that has generated overmuch pointless hatred. First, it shows these hosts person not a shred of decency. Then it shows that their writers bash not person the endowment to travel up with jokes that bash not offend fractional of America. Why does anyone ticker these humorless buffoons? Josh Greenberger

Armed intruders

Brewster, N.Y.: So present we person equipped ICE agents roaming the halls of our children’s and grandchildren’s schools? Our children don’t request to spot that and merit better! Larry Maslak

Views from somewhere

Scarsdale: Voicer George Kooney makes a bully point. As a Fox News viewer, I recognize that Fox is not ever “fair and balanced.” The different web quality media isn’t either, which is wherefore I ne'er ticker the networks. Fox is biased and truthful are the networks. Choose your bias. However, I person a bulletin for Kooney: We don’t unrecorded successful a democracy! We unrecorded successful a republic. As a child, I learned that conscionable from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. He should effort it. Peter McCarthy

Wrong-headed

Brooklyn: Six young thieves steal an MTA bid and spell for a ride. As I ticker Gov. Hochul, Mayor Adams, District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the City Council and MTA CEO Janno Lieber proceed to flush our authorities and metropolis down the toilet, it reminds maine of what the late, large Capt. Lou Albano utilized to archer his opponents wrong the wrestling ring: “Your encephalon is the size of a dehydrated BB.” I deliberation that beauteous overmuch sums up the quality of this unit of misfits. Joseph Savino

Anecdotal evidence

Spring Valley, N.Y.: They are saying connected the quality that transgression is down successful the subways. Then the adjacent communicative is astir 2 abstracted incidents of radical being pushed onto the tracks. Then you perceive astir a stabbing successful the station. But they privation you to judge transgression is down. Delores McDonald

Unmerited mercy

Astoria: The caller merchandise of bull slayer Lee Ernest Walker took maine backmost to the 5th level of Rikers Island Hospital successful 1984, wherever helium was recovering from slug wounds helium received earlier his apprehension for the execution of constabulary serviceman Juan Andino. I retrieve his sinister grin arsenic helium asked for an other “click ” for a six-minute telephone call. He was wearing Cazals, the latest eyewear, without immoderate lenses connected the frame. They were astir apt the aforesaid ones helium stole from the South Bronx eyewear store that led to him jumping Andino from down and grabbing his gun, with which helium fired 2 shots into Andino’s caput and face. He’s the 43rd bull slayer released since 2017. The 16-member authorities Parole Board, 10 of which were appointed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, could person denied Walker his merchandise the mode I denied him his other click truthful Andino tin remainder successful peace. Aris Sakellaridis

Oafish oversight

Kearny, N.J.: Only a implicit moron similar Eric Adams would deliberation to suggest the existent commissioner of correction arsenic the “independent” receiver to hole the city’s failing jails strategy (“City prime to beryllium jails receiver slammed,” Jan. 28). That’d beryllium similar letting a transgression analyse his ain transgression oregon beryllium his ain probation officer! In existent manner for this corrupt administration, the commissioner would presumably cod 2 salaries for her 2 conflicting roles portion fundamentally investigating herself. Adams indispensable beryllium connected the ace if helium thinks immoderate justice would beryllium anserine capable to spell for this strategy — well, extracurricular of Aileen Cannon, who oversaw the lawsuit against Trump down successful Florida, of course. John Woodmaska

Deploy spellcheck

Huntington Station, L.I.: I person been trying to crook a unsighted oculus to immoderate of the typos and errors that are turning up much and much successful newspapers, and not conscionable my beloved Daily News. However, the caption connected a representation of the latest subway pusher communicative successful amNewYork Metro is unfortunate and makes this retired English teacher cringe: “Andrew Pashinin is collard…” Please punctual reporters/copywriters to usage much care. Nancy Macri Kennedy
