Editor,

The Washington Post decided endorsements did not matter as an “October surprise” that well may have caused too many voters to believe their votes did not matter either.

Good morning, Tasha

I agree with you... we need a free press, but I'm scratching my head over your criticism of the Daily Journal for printing an opinion because you disagree with that opinion.

I'm going to guess your disappointment goes beyond the WaPo's opinion piece and includes the outcome of last month's general election. The other LTE in today's Daily Journal offers some advice for those feeling the same disappointment. Should the Journal have not printed that reader's opinion?

Thanks for your letter, Ms. Levinson, but you needn’t worry. Trump is bringing decency back into the executive branch of government. We can hope the same for the Republican-led House and Senate, too. We can also hope that Trump will re-institute a free mainstream press dedicated to presenting facts but we have to remember, there doesn’t appear to be any cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome so the odds aren’t in favor for that to occur.
