Letter to the editor:

Fox News is just a cheerleader

Isn’t it ironic that acting in a fair and balanced manner, your newspaper would print the Dec. 5 letter “Lay off of Fox News,” in which the writer criticized your Nov. 30 editorial, stated that Fox News offers sanity and cogent coverage regarding the Trump administration, and that NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN provide only slanted news on President Donald Trump.

Sanity is defined as exercising sound judgment and good sense, and cogency is defined as believable. Is it sound judgment, good sense and cogency for Fox to report favorably on Trump when he ignored the CIA’s report that the Saudi crown prince was responsible for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi?

Not in the eyes of Republican Sen. Bob Corker, who said the crown prince would be convicted by a jury within 30 minutes of deliberation, or Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who said the CIA report clearly established the prince’s use of a “smoking saw.”
