Editor,
I wholeheartedly agree with Grace Xuereb’s letter to the editor from Tuesday regarding her opinion on the guest perspective hit piece by Tovis Page calling the killing of Renee Good murder and the Daily Journal’s editors allowing for such an inflammatory word to be used in her article before the ICE officer is formally charged.
O.J. Simpson murdered his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman. Luigi Mangione murdered United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. I could name many more murderers who preplanned and murdered their victims but space won’t allow. The Daily Journal will politely send back those of us who write letters if they deem them inflammatory in content or if the subject’s actions written about has yet to be proven by the courts. Ms. Page has no right to be judge and jury regarding the officer’s actions and in my opinion the Daily Journal’s editors allowing her to use “murdered” in her piece makes one wonder just how impartial the DJ really is.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Wackerman, and your concerns about what is allowed to be printed in the Daily Journal. Personally, I’m okay with LTEs because writers show us who they are, whether for America and humanity or not. Or whether writers have been easily manipulated. Or whether writers lead by emotion without logic and facts. I would be more concerned if the editor or their reporters made the same claim of “murdered” in what should be a non-partisan news article. Have a great day and I hope you’re having a Happy New Year.
