"More dangerous than angering some of our readers who disagree with our editorial positions or news coverage, would be endangering our credibility by avoiding controversy or disagreement."-Sentinel Publisher Dave Perry

American democracy is under siege, yet Editorial Boards are silent on the remedy of impeachment (and calls for resignation).

The Founders would be appalled at such timidity.

The Publisher of the Sentinel shared insights into his outlets process and rationale.

Please read the full interview.

U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services (USCIS), which approves applicants for citizenship is disrupting naturalization ceremonies with novel excuses.
Routine naturalization ceremonies scheduled for this month in Putnam, Dutchess and Ulster counties to welcome new U.S. citizens were abruptly canceled last week by the federal government, surprising local officials.   buff.ly/8emFeDU

AGSulzberger leads a $10 billion market cap media property w/cash on hand. They are one of the few companies that could afford to do meaningful interviews. Healy et. al CHOOSE not to. Instead settle on performative “man on the street” interviews that the Onion &small local papers do. #infotainment
