Our weekly round-up of letters published in the Dothan Eagle.
In response to Theresa Todd's Jan. 29 letter to the editor, I believe she is the one who has missed critical thinking.Let's be clear. Social media is NOT news media. Those who get their news off social media are people who do not care about the truth but only seek news that fits their own limited views. In other words, they don't want to hear any news that goes against their beliefs, whether their beliefs are accurate or not.
If you are reading this letter, you are reading from a professional news media organization with editorial oversight to ensure accuracy. The same is true of every major news publication in the country. As far as network news, each show has an editor who oversees content. With regard to cable news, on the major news channels, the actual news shows have editors. I have watched all three major news channels since each one started but I only watch the news programs.
Ms. Todd quoted Benjamin Franklin and I would recommend that everyone read that quote. The most dangerous thing in a democratic-republic is an uninformed electorate.
