Letter: Daily Herald editorials sound like Democrats

It looks like the editorial from Thursday, could have been written by the Democratic Party.

I thought it was the job of the media to hold the elected officials responsible.

Since Donald Trump's campaign, all through his presidency and the two years since, all of the news media have been accusing, investigating and reporting on so-far baseless claims about him. There have been no convictions and mostly exonerations on all of these claims.

The Democrats and media (are they the same?) have only been governing based on politics and political investigations.

Where were your opinions for the last seven years about the lack of true governing and bipartisan work on Social Security and immigration reform when Democrats ran the House?

Do you think that the weaponization of federal agencies and using political office for personal gain is OK and should not be investigated?

I know you use syndicated articles mostly from The Washington Post, and they are shills for the Democratic Party, but can't you use your personal editorial pieces to support real journalism investigations in these matters?

I think you should take the example of your own sports writer, Jim O'Donnell. I don't often agree with him, but he pulls no punches as he is critical of most news media. He recently called out the Bears reporters as lap dogs for the Bears brass, which is unfortunately what the mainstream media and the Daily Herald have become for the Democrat party.
