New editorial page editor is needed

Your May 19 editorial on Bernie Sanders supporters was misleading and missing vital points.

With Donald Trump rallies, the violence of Trump supporters is in response to violence from anti-Trump crowds. The Sanders supporters mostly cause the violence at his rallies.

The way many of you in the media portray these disturbances actually serves to bolster those leftist forces, many of whom are led by paid activists. So you should bear some of the blame. As a Bee reader for 65 years, I have been silent for too long.

You need to be called out on your highly partisan editorials. I have enjoyed the op-ed page for many years, even most of the opinions with which I disagree.

But if your Editorial Board is in total agreement with this piece, you need a new editorial page editor.
