The Herald’s lead story on Monday was about Paola Lerma Martin del Campo (“Paola Lerma Martin del Campo finds her calling,” Sept. 2), and it said she struggles with racism without offering much to support that headline.
Later in the story, it says she is a “Mexican immigrant.” Is she a legal immigrant or an illegal immigrant, one wonders?
If she is an illegal immigrant, why does the Herald avoid reporting the objective facts?
But the immigration part, which the Herald is always loath to be truthful about, isn’t what caught my eye. It was the word “racism” in the headline of the story.
Large liberal news outlets like the Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN and the AP have more or less declared that since Russian collusion can’t be found against President Trump, the plan is to accuse him and Republicans of being racist for the next two years.
In fact, The New York Times was so caught out by admitting that it is actively campaigning against the Trump administration that I was surprised the Herald wouldn’t report it. It is a big, newsworthy item if supposed journalism outlets, claiming special dispensation from the Constitution, are caught being simple partisan propagandists.
So my question is this: Is the Herald now joining other liberal news outlets in the “racist” conflagration? If not, why hasn’t the Herald mentioned the many partisan actions in recent years by liberals claiming to be journalists?
