In response to the letter to the editor written by Gary Fast (“Columnists harp on Trump too often,” The Herald, Aug. 28): His well-written comment is noted and respected, if not agreed with.
Although Sid Schwab is not a favorite of mine, I very much enjoy Eugene Robinson’s writing and look forward to his columns. I consider him brave and a journalistic hero. The Washington Post is lucky to have him.
On the other hand, Alexandra Petri’s smirk smile and idiotic blather puts me on edge all day, so I read her stuff not at all.
Here’s a suggestions: If you are seriously troubled by left-leaning journalists, don’t read their columns.
Let’s both agree and celebrate the shaky fact that, for the moment at least, we still have a free press. God help us if we ever don’t.
