Which presidents have visited Berks County? That's the front page story in the Reading Eagle. The take-away? There is no news in Berks. Oh yeah, fasnachts. And Thon.
Sanctuary city? No mention of the issue in the Eagle.
The City Hall reporter produces about three stories a month, usually covering a meeting, in a city of 90,000 people that has terrible problems with poverty, education and economic development.
But the local "newspaper" ignores the place where the real news is.
On the national level -- let's normalize Donald Trump, just the type of authoritarian, God-spouting, anti-immigrant, anti-education, fear-mongering, media-bashing caudillo to give the Berks Establishment hard-ons.
"Animosity to the president represents an American tradition."
