It is ironic that The Sun carried two more letters from writers accusing the newspaper of liberal bias, but not one word about Hillary Clinton's important speech in Reno laying out in great detail the racist nature of Donald Trump's campaign ("Clinton takes aim at Trump's ties to 'alt-right' world of radical conservatives," Aug. 25).
This was a speech in which former Secretary of State Clinton used Mr. Trump's own words and actions, along with his decisions to hire and ally himself with the white supremacist race baiters in the so-called "alt right" movement, to conclude that he is, as many others long ago concluded, unqualified and unable to function as president of the United States. His slogan, she said, should be "Make America Hate Again," based on his own words and actions and she discussed the dangers of stirring prejudice against African-Americans, immigrants, women and other minorities in this country. Even Fox News broadcast the speech live, along with the other cable television networks.
The Sun's editors instead chose to run a long story on Mr. Trump labeled "analysis," speculating on his recent comments on immigration, but totally ignored Ms. Clinton's speech. How any publication that considers itself true to basic journalistic standards could justify that is beyond me and I worked as a reporter for The Evening Sun and the Sun for over 42 years.
