LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, I admit it I can get riled about things. However, there is absolutely no excuse for everyone not to be angry and upset about what is happening to Ukraine and the people in that country! But the real angst that gets me going is people such as tucker carlson (I spell this name intentionally in lower case), and Rupert Murdoch, who allows jokers such as carlson to be on the air waves saluting Putin. 03/05/2022 10:19 AM
