Columnist ignored the real ‘hatchet man’

Posted December 22, 2024 4:00 am

In response to Jeff Robbins’ article on the Daily Herald’s opinion page of Dec. 19, I’d like to express my opinion. If the Daily Herald believes that “Facts Matter” as stated at the top of the page, why doesn’t the column by Jeff Robbins state who he is, a biased liberal Democratic lawyer? I would not have wasted my time reading his absurd opinion.

The headline caught my attention. “Kash as king: a hatchet man is coming to town.”

Of course, Mr. Robbins never states or acknowledges that the “hatchet man” Merrick Garland has been in town for almost four years. He came to town as the attorney general with a chip on his shoulder because the Republicans didn’t confirm him for the Supreme Court.

Come on, Daily Herald. Try to be unbiased and less deceptive. The silent majority doesn’t trust the legacy media and you wonder why.
