The incredible shrinking editor

Ken, regarding your last two editorials commenting on the presidential election results, your apparent inability to comprehend that for some people there are just as many logical, valid, righteous and positive reasons to vote for Donald Trump as you have for voting for Kamala Harris reflects an immense shallowness in your journalistic curiosity (see CNN’s Scott Jennings’ article latimes.com/opinion/story/2024-11-01/election-donald-trump-kamala-harris for a different perspective).

Your further reflexive impulse to ascribe only the most hateful and ignorant motives to people that don’t share your political perspective and voting preferences reflect more the machinations of a shrill ideologue than the probing of a legitimate editor.

It appears the timing is indeed right for you to move on to other endeavors. My wife and I will always appreciate the drive and passion you brought to running our community newspaper, but we will not at all miss the brittle arrogance and condescension of your political analysis.

All the best to you in your retirement!

Cheers!
