The recent bad decisions by The Herald are speeding its decline. I can believe that The Seattle Times delivery network has some problems, but my Wall Street Journal keeps arriving pre-dawn daily, in our R-5 fringe neighborhood, and The Herald could be with it. Due to The Herald’s wisdom, I now wait for the mail. We just got our second mail delivery of the week yesterday afternoon after dark. Here I sit on Sunday morning, with Wednesdays’ news labeled Thursday. Is that worth paying for?
Reconsider, while you still have subscribers.
And recent bad decisions by The Herald are also speeding its decline. The Herald has a well-known liberal bias. There are few dissenting opinions on that. I remember when it had news stories that suppressed the staff opinions in the news section. That went out the window with Jerry Cornfield’s front page “news” article with numerous liberal slurs against Robert Sutherland (“Sutherland to pay $2.5K to settle ethics violation complaint,” The Herald, Jan. 6). It is no secret that The Herald has always endorsed anyone running against him, and that bias does not belong in the news section.
Sutherland is a public servant with integrity and backbone. He believes we need confidence in our election system, and has invested significant time in studying how fraudulent votes can get into our current system. This is a very good qualification to be our auditor. If he chooses to run I will happily endorse him.
