Mr. McDougal made some excellent points in his letter to the editor in the Jan. 23 Addison Independent, especially this quote: “… the confidence we can place in our government, media and politicians continues to plummet as we learn every day of the complex web of deception which has detracted from the credibility of reportage, policy and diplomacy.” In the run up to the election and continuing after the inauguration Mr. Lynn’s editorials are compounding this situation. Let us move on —better yet — stop beating a dead horse.
