I’ve been pretty disappointed by Centralia Chronicle’s journalistic practices lately. They have a very perceptible “radical right” skew to their Covid coverage. Although, it is good to document the idiot politicians. Anti-maskers are so exhausting, I can’t hardly take it anymore. If everyone had gotten on board with wearing masks a year ago, the pandemic would be over by now, schools would have opened months ago, and hundreds of thousands of people would still be alive. For God’s sake.
The Chronicle and the Nisqually Valley News have the same parent co.
It’s because the NVN and Chronicle are the same company that emphasizes the Chronicle’s skewed coverage. You see articles in the Chronicle and not NVN — like the low vaccination rates in South Thurston zip codes (with odd graphic choice and ridiculous quotes by Commissioner Edwards), and now this photo spread about the ‘Freedom Rally’ with the Yelm resident.
Yep, very observant!
