Letter: Don’t get used to false statements

I read George Pyle’s April 21 article “When open-minded becomes a weakness” again today. I want to thank him for finding the words that so many of us are feeling.

We should not become immune to the constant stream of false statements uttered by people who hold and should protect the public trust. It's not okay.
