I am usually a fan of The Salt Lake Tribune's reporting, except for the over-zealous reporting on the LDS Church, but that's another matter.
I was gravely disappointed that the front page headline for Tuesday's edition was not about the president's outrageous and immoral statements to use military force against our own citizens but, instead, a story about Salt Lake City's curfew captured the front page.
Trump's statement reaches a level of presidential dysfunction unlike any president has made in our nation's history. The story was buried on page 6 of the paper.
It makes me wonder who makes the decisions on what the main headline will be in the paper. I can't help but wonder has Trump's negative influence reached The Tribune's decision makers?
