Dear Editor,
I read “an explanation to our readers” and the “Publisher’s Note” and in no way would I think of trying to defend any editor of any newspaper because it remains the prerogative of the editor to print or not to print. What I know is that black on white is condemning.
If our readers go through the Today newspapers around the end of July to beginning of August, I believe that they also will be confused just as I am as to why the Today remains genuinely confused because they have no idea what they have done to cause The Daily Herald to react in this manner.
There are certain things that I write about which I have to look up in my files, others remain vivid. Because of the manner in which the Today newspaper publicly went at The Daily Herald at that time, that remained with me and I, not being sure if there would be a back and forth between editorials said, my piece.
That was aborted, but I did not expect “I will get back at you one day” would come back in play in that form. If this is not the case then the word Alzheimer comes to mind.
I cannot imagine newspaper people not looking to see if there is anything black on white pertaining to the matter before acknowledging or denying it. The way in which that explanation was given to the readers was the same way in which the Today responded to the contents of the T.I. report and that is malicious.
This seems as if it wants to become a trend. Now, I am not so sure if I would regret that the editor of the Today opposes to educating the people.
