Can no longer take The Herald’s liberal bias

I canceled my subscription to The Herald in May after nearly 20 years. I no longer felt value with the subscription.

The Herald pushes a one-sided political ideology and is in favor for newer and expanding tax initiatives that extract an ever-growing amount of people’s livelihoods.

I tried for years to be satisfied with the occasional tidbit of more conservative perspectives. However these have become fewer and fewer. The Herald favors more and more regulation, increasing government control and a growing disdain for those who may not agree with their ideology. Sadly, the readership is also following their lead as sheep are led to a slaughter.

The chosen contributors like Eugene Robinson are a completely predictable and much maligned hatred of opposing parties. The Everett Herald is now merely a propaganda piece by what they choose to report and by what they omit — for the Democratic party. I will not contribute to that any longer.
