Palson: Newspaper should focus on more important items in Sun City

Posted

I’m just stunned that you’ll use COVID in headlines to get attention but otherwise it’s business as usual — no big deal.

What is wromng with you? You’re part of the problem, not the solution! Watch for scams due to COVID? It’s the typical scam story with COVID sprinkled in. Pitiful.

Trump has botched everything. It never should have gotten this bad. We need to be locked down until vaccines are available to everyone. There has to be a public plan to administer. A real plan developed by professionals. Until then and after, we need testing and tracing. This is insane. It’s not going away and you can’t just ignore it. It’s already mutated so any hope of beating it is lost. 

Over 10,000 people died in Arizona because of Doug Ducey. How many more people need to die before it’s an emergency around here? You have a platform to speak up loudly!

I want to hear from people who have recovered. How are they doing? What problems linger? What kind of medical bills are they now responsible for? How do they (and health professionals) feel about the “carry-on and don’t wear a mask” attitude? I want to hear about the people we lost, too. How we can do better!

I just subscribed and may be regretting it. I want news but it has to be the truth. I know you don’t “have to” but you must feel some obligation to uphold the Fairness Doctrine and provide facts. Doing otherwise is unAmerican.

Note: Reagan screwed us and did away with the Fairness Doctrine. It’s said that that is what started the GOP down the dark, dark path they are on today. They can lie to their supporters without consequence, swell conspiracy theories and incite gun nuts. By the way, the 2nd Amendment includes the words “well regulated.” You know, like gun ownership should be well regulated.

Also, you should be calling for Debbie Lesko to resign. Her job is to represent all constituents, not just the loudest few. To uphold our constitution. If she really doesn’t believe in election results, then let her prove it and stand aside for Michael Muscato. How dare she work to take away my vote! Lesko must be held accountable.

Don’t you have issue with the fact that people continue to claim the election was stolen? It was fair and square. We’re a blue state! Adrian Fontes deserves a lot of credit — amazing job, amazing story. President Joe Biden can’t take office soon enough. Truly, not soon enough. Our national security is at risk. We’re vulnerable to attack thanks to the current, ugly administration. 

Make sure your advertisers know that people like me aren’t going anywhere or shopping — only essentials. I would be out there spending money but I can’t afford to get sick. or shot. And our leaders don’t care about me or them. Do you?

I am proudly Antifa (against fascism and violence).
