Editor Rod Doherty's Wrongs, News Media ethics, Biased editor
Editor Rod Doherty’s Wrongs
Newspapers seem to have this unsworn oath to protect the character of other paper’s and editors over the pubic being informed of their wrongs. My letter yesterday clearly stated biased, along with ethical and moral wrongs by Fosters Daily Democrat newspaper of Dover NH. Response letters to articles with wrong or miss lead facts to harm a paying customers character and the Fosters does not print them for they question the integrity of their Editor Rod Doherty. The Fosters gives me an award one year for my thirty years of volunteering almost every day in the community to help others. The next year they hang a wanted poster in their lobby waning people if they see me to call the cops for I am a danger. The Fosters describes how I write threatening letters but refuse to print them while using words and line out of context to outrage their readers. What ever happen to the unbiased news and the people have a right to know? It is the obligation of every member of the news media organization to correct the wrongs of even prizewinning editor’s such as Rod Doherty for one bad apple destroys the integrity for all.
My wife and I took all our savings to purchase eleven-acres of waterfront property at 101 Stepping Stone Rd Lee NH and started a non-profit organization to give homeless and disabled US Military Veterans a place to live free until if ever they can come home mentally as well as physically. I have had reporters from the Fosters and other newspapers tell me that Rod is telling others that the purchase of this land is a hocks and an election ploy. Neighbors and other members of the community call the police and town government officials and have stopped my trying to get the first cabin built. The harm by one respected editor can have with biased and harmful stories to create ignorance of the public and voters leaves those that fought for our freedom of the press alone and homeless on the streets.
This is a direct letter that clearly states the facts, as I know them and the public must be made aware of. Freedom of the Press is not to protect the editors and newspapers to have the news to publish. Freedom of the Press is for the public to have the unbiased facts even if it is in response letters of wrongs by the well-established editor.
Rod is under the assumption a no-body such as me can be pushed under the rug leaving his biased attitude to harm whom ever he wishes. This is not just my belief others have said this or similar about Rod to me.
The public must always be allowed to read and talk about the other side of the stories. Rod Doherty even though they give him awards must do what is right for the customer is always correct.
Does any newspaper have the moral and ethical standards to print this opinion letter of the wrongs by a well-respected brother editor such as Rod Doherty.
