To the editor:

This newspaper has a policy to pretty much report on local issues, except for occasional national columnists and that is probably a good thing. They have now included USA Today as an addition to your daily paper.

But I want to point out a glaring misrepresentation that is being made in the current orgy by many national news organizations about the candidacy of you-know-who.

National news organizations are blaring about the “incredible lead” that this candidate has, but really if you stop and think about it, since when does  25 percent (or so) of ANYTHING amount to a huge lead?

There are still many other candidates who have less amounts in the polls (and “polls” is a whole other subject) and as these other candidates fall by the wayside, as they must, who gets the other 75 percent of this support.?

I seriously doubt that the anointed clown will benefit from the downfall of all the others, but one must be aware that the opinion of the national news organizations that the anointed one is “way ahead” is simply an aberration and misuse of statistics. Mark Twain once said that there are three great misrepresentations: “Lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Might be time to give some thoughtful consideration to this “Trump”et section of the national news sources.
