Manhattan: As regular local news watchers, my wife and I cannot figure out why some anchors spend as much, if not more, time reporting ludicrous, nonsensical stories published by the MAGA-leaning New York Post, Fox News, etc. as they do bona fide news sources.

Tappan, N.Y.: “Invasion” is an ominous word. It conjures personal harm and pending calamity. It is something we all shudder at the thought of. Yet, in 2022, an invasion is taking place in Ukraine by a more forceful country, militarily strong, driven by a man who wants to control a country of hard-working, honest people. He is intent on adding Ukraine to his Russian landmass, no matter the cost.

Forest Hills: Is it still too soon to point out that no judge should be an ex-prosecutor, yet almost all of them are? You can all guess if the supposedly fair and impartial judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was remotely fair and impartial, or whether he had an agenda his entire career (he’s a former prosecutor whose life was dedicated to backing men with guns and police officers and military personnel. And he owns a gun!).
