Bill Owens’ exit from CBS and more: Letters – Latest News
Owens’ CBS exit
Kudos to CBS for “allowing” govt producer Bill Owens to “quit” as a outcome of President Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit in opposition to “60 Minutes” (“CBS Big: Eye Quit,” April 23).
Owens is absolutely the epitome of “fake news” as illustrated by his staff’s deceptively modifying the interview with Kamala Harris — apparently in hopes of gaining voter help for her run because the Democratic presidential nominee.
Like it or not, Trump has been saying for years that many media retailers are biased of their reporting — and Owens is a good instance of that. Hopefully others take heed of CBS’s expertise. Reporting is the job, not making an attempt to govern and distort details in favor of agendas.

Family failure
Naomi Schaefer Riley has legitimate factors relating to Administration of Children’s Services failing a Bronx household (“A Promise Broken,” PostOpinion, April 22).
But what about Lisa Cotton’s household? Where had been they? They didn’t test on her or her youngsters for weeks. They knew of her mental-health points. And the place was the daddy of the 2 youngsters? The complete system in place is a catastrophe.
Government encourages single moms to have a number of youngsters by giving monetary-assistance incentives.
No outdoors company is succesful of overseeing the wellness of all of the poor youngsters in dwelling conditions like this. Why can’t our authorities “leaders” see the lifeless finish this system is main generations into? No system is succesful of raising youngsters. It’s the duty of the household unit, together with a father.

Court’s judgment
I write to commend Glenn H. Reynolds for his glorious and insightful article on the growing illegitimacy of the Supreme Court (“Court’s Trump Hate Will Cost It Dearly,” PostOpinion, April 23).
President Trump’s actions are sometimes derogatorily known as breaking norms (which I typically applaud), however the Supreme Court has veered far out of its lane and breaks norms with abandon.
Chief Justice John Roberts — a self-styled “institutionalist” — is essentially accountable, as illustrated by his blatantly political flip-flop within the 5-4 Obamacare choice. That went in opposition to all legal ideas to “protect” the Supreme Court — on the expense of democracy.
The new Roberts’ default is “If Trump did it, we will stop it,” identical to the hard-left stance of Bernie and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Case for compost
Something doesn’t odor proper about John Tierney’s attempt to demonize city composting (“Bullies’ Delight,” PostOpinion, April 21).
Conservatives used to say the prevalence of “small-town values,” together with the ethical high ground occupied by people who knew how to take duty for his or her own messes.
My dad and mom’ and grandparents’ generations knew higher. Growing “Victory Gardens” during World War II helped save important food sources that went to our armed forces.
Back then, it was patriotic to recycle; slogans like “Salvage Tin To Win” had been in every single place, and composting was a big half of how we as a nation prevented losing food and fertilizer with a purpose to help the conflict effort.
We did it then, and we will do it now. Nothing’s good, and if there are issues in making city composting work effectively, we will resolve these issues collectively as a society. But there may be nothing “conservative” about dwelling wastefully and carelessly.
