Letters

Democrat congressional candidate John Avlon has said, “We break this fever” — of politicians lying — “when we follow the facts without fear or favor, remembering that all lies stop where accountability starts.”

I agree, and Mr. Avlon can now lead by example.

You see, Mr. Avlon helped to perpetuate many of the mainstream media lies about Donald Trump and the right. For example, he extolled the 51 traitors who penned the letter claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. Merrick Garland’s Justice Department recently confirmed that it is Hunter’s laptop. It never was Russian disinformation.

Unfortunately for our country, Mr. Avlon was not interested in the truth. Being on CNN, being a darling of the left and running for Congress one day, were all more important.

For all the lies told to the American people by the mainstream media over the past decade, there have been few, if any, mea culpas. Well, Mr. Avlon, here is your chance to hold yourself accountable. It is a challenge, really.

If you do not, then I can only assume that you are exactly what you despise: another lying politician.
