Anonymous THE GOSHEN NEWS The Goshen News Fri Oct 05, 2012, 07:11 PM EDT

Did you ever imagine that what happened decades ago in other parts of the world could happen in America: Selective newscasting allowed to the people?

My message is short: We have an election (which is a privilege) in a month. If we do not know what we do not know, how can we make an educated selection of our next leaders of our country — from local to nationwide races? We, as consumers of the news, have not been allowed to make that educated choice if what we have been viewing is limited to the same outlets of ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, CNN.

We all can get comfortable in what we are used to doing. My message brings a challenge: Add Fox News Channel (not your local Fox) to what you are already viewing for one week. Then compare. Don’t get upset with this suggestion — get upset with those selecting for you what they choose not to put on their airwaves in the first place. Why not put it all out there and let the people choose and seek out the truth for themselves?

After that one week you might say “Wow! That FNC is so different — I’ve never heard that before... how do I know that is true? How do you know what you have previously been watching is true? We need and deserve the whole truth. FNC does offer several sides in their hosts and guests. Also, there are news hours and opinion hours of viewing. It is up to us to know the difference. Pass on this challenge to your email lists, friends, co-workers and family.

There are many news outlets now that were not available decades ago. Make good use of them. Find out what you do not know before it is too late.

Goshen should stick with ‘Redskins’
I must respond to the letter to the editor from Mr. Ron Chupp (The Goshen News, May 9). What’s in a name, Mr. Chupp? I too have a Native American heritage, and for some reason, I am not offended by the term Redskins, or brown skins or any other color of skins.

More important issues than a nickname
I would like to, in the most respectful way possible, respond to Mr. Chupp’s letter (The Goshen News, May 9) regarding the ongoing debate over the term “Redskins” being used as the nickname and mascot for the Goshen school system.

There is hope through God
May I share what happened to me after praying about the issue of whether to have guns carried by school authorities at Goshen High School. While calling out to God, my question was: Why have we as a nation come to trusting in government agencies, such as Homeland Security, rather than obeying the Constitution in what you have declared through our forefathers?

‘Redskins’ nickname is offensive
The question posed (in the May 5 edition) was, “What’s in a Name?” In the case of the GHS (Redskins) mascot, it is insult, degradation, racism, and an ongoing slap-in-the face reminder of the disgusting manner in which my Native American ancestors were treated by Europeans.
