Nothing wrong

Dear Editor:

RE: ‘Disgusted,’ Oct. 10.

I am writing to counter the opinion expressed by Tim Wood, relative to a political cartoon appearing in the Advertiser that alludes to one of Donald Trump’s myriad human flaws: lying!

Commentators have been using their artistic skills, grasp of current events and knowledge of the human condition for generations to inform and educate the public. I see nothing inherently wrong, unworthy or misleading in the depiction.

Nowhere in my home life or in the 13 years spent sitting in the classrooms of a faith-based school system were the notions of mocking the disabled (a news reporter), demonizing and scapegoating the stranger (immigrants) or delaying and/or denying legitimate medical treatment (women) ever countenanced.

This is where my “disgust” resides and not in a trenchant piece of political satire.

Allan Berry,
