The article from the Homer News; I can only copy some of it here; these are the first 2 grafs: Hundreds of people gathered on the beach Wednesday, Sept. 17, to remember Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed while holding a campus event in Utah for his orga-nization, Turning Point USA, on Sept. 10. Kirk was a far-right political activist and Christian-Nationalist icon. He regularly toured college campuses across the country, engaging college students in debates where he defended his often racist and controversial views, including criticism of the Civil Rights Act and the work of Martin Luther King Jr.,, opposition to gun control and affirmative action, and his perpetuation of conspiracy theories, including COVID-19 and climate misinformation, as well as replacement theory.

The last part of the letter; it ends thusly: I urge you to take immediate corrective action. Review your editorial standards, review this reporter's body of work, and make it clear that Sound Publishing will no longer tolerate agenda-driven "reporting" masquerading as news. The future credibility of the Homer News, and its advertising base, depends on it. Again, this is from a state representative on her official letterhead.

A letter on official letterhead from Alaska state rep. Sarah Vance to the owner of an Alaskan newspaper called the Homer News, telling them that an article about Charlie Kirk displeased her and should change their editorial policies, fire their reporter, and are left-wing. Also has a threatening tone regarding boycotting. It’s too long for the alt-text to copy the whole thing. My apologies.
