LETTER: Hanson critic can’t handle the truth
December 19, 2022 - 9:01 pm
In response to Richard A. Hebert’s Thursday letter castigating syndicated columnist Victor Davis Hanson and the Review-Journal: The famous line in the movie “A Few Good Men” comes to mind: Mr. Hebert “can’t handle the truth.”
All the line-by-line items Mr. Hanson enumerates regarding President Joe Biden’s failures are well-documented and indisputable. Mr. Hebert should remember that Mr. Hanson appears in the opinion section. People give theirs and you can give yours. It’s still, for now, a free country.
Mr. Hebert can’t challenge Mr. Hanson’s accuracy, so he just calls him pompous and a doomsayer surrounded by dark clouds. But Mr. Hanson writes well-researched opinion pieces. That’s what he does.
As a 40-year, loyal subscriber to the Review-Journal, I say bravo to the right-leaning editorial section. And I, too, have suffered the “injustice” of having to read the Sun insert embedded in the Review-Journal. But I do read it in order to more fully understand my opposition. I see it as a public service. Perhaps Mr. Hebert can readjust his perception and see the Review-Journal that way.
