Well, more censorship from the Mountain Mail/Cailey McDermott. I sure miss Merle Baranczyk!
I submitted a letter taking the Mountain Mail and Frank Waxman to task for printing his lies on President Trump.
Here’s my letter below submitted July 26, 2024. My letter actually appeared on their web page (but not in the actual paper) July 30th but without Frank Waxman’s name. Kinda defeated the purpose but I thought at least it was there.
I then received an email on July 31 that they would not be running my letter! My letter on their web page was then gone.
To the editor:
July 20, 2024
I thought this new editor was going to censor letters written to the Mountain Mail to make sure they are true and yet, every time Frank Waxman writes his lies about President Trump, they are printed as truth when, after research, anyone can find that they are lies. President Trump has many times come out against Project 25, never heard of it until recently, and of course when Mr. Waxman starts calling him names, we know that’s his only offense.
Then, Mr. Waxman tries to defend Kamala!! She’s for total open boarders, medical for all illegals (of course, on the working person’s dime) for DEI (racism), never received a delegate vote (ask who is behind her even getting the position of vice president, certainly not on her morals or work ethic). I feel bad for the Democrats who voted in the primaries for Biden and are somehow ending up with her.
Funny how Mr. Waxman states “it’s prosecutor against felon” (we all know what a scam that was) when Kamala was the worst prosecutor in California, letting felons go, who then went out and committed more crimes. Kamala actually came out for funding rioters in the “summer of love” (remember that!) to get out of jail!
Do we really want the rest of the country to look like a 3rd world county California? Already starting to with Biden’s open border policy.
Mr. Waxman stating President Trump is for a complete ban on abortion is another lie. Roe vs Wade was never in the Constitution so should never have been a federal law. The Supreme Court was right in sending it back to the states for the people in those states to decide. Nothing more, nothing less.
Mr. Waxman should listen to one of the many of President Trump’s rallies and interviews and educate himself. The Mountain Mail) should do the same and stop printing blatant lies.
I’m sad to see the once fantastic Mountain Mil heading in this direction emulating the “National Enquirer”.
My question to everyone is this: are you better off now or when President Trump was in office?

Why will you not run it? None of it was a lie.
I would like to inquirer as to what part of my letter was publishable, so that I may avoid any future rejections.

Of course I received no answer. I given her a few more days to answer my email so since she has not, I’m putting this info here for the people to see what is truly going on with our local newspaper.
Very disappointed with out local newspaper. I will not be renewing my subscription in Oct. when my subscription comes due unless I see a positive change, which with this editor, I sincerely doubt. Breaks my heart as my grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins have all been reading The Mountain Mail for many many years. (I’m 3rd generation Salidian) and I’m going to be the one to break this tradition.
