EPIC: Fed-Up Sheriff Running For Congress Tells Off Major U.S. Newspaper

(Tea Party PAC) – While we are living during a period of time when millions of Americans across the country are having issues with slanted news outlets providing less than objective media coverage of the day’s hot topics, one fed-up sheriff who is campaigning for a seat in Congress is telling his local newspaper to go take a long walk off a short peer due to its biased reporting.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the kind of people we need more of. Desperately. Folks who aren’t afraid to stand up against the rotten propaganda machines that have taken over the mainstream media. We no longer have objective news coverage. Instead, we have news outlets that have sold their souls to become propaganda makers for the Democratic Party. Tragic. Truly tragic.

According to WND, the Sacramento Bee, which is located in the capital city of California, has drawn the ire of Scott Jones (pictured here), the GOP sheriff of Sacramento County who has served in the community for the last 12 years.

The editorial board of the newspaper has invited Jones to take part in an “endorsement interview” for the third congressional district of California.

However, on Monday, the sheriff sent off a rather brutal letter (read it here) to the publication, absolutely refusing to hold anything back as he let them have a piece of his mind.

“I will not seek – nor do I want – The Bee’s endorsement,” Jones said in his letter.

“Let me be clear, I value free, fair, and thorough journalism. Unfortunately, with rare exception, The Bee and their Editorial Staff have proven time and time again that they do not share the same values,” the sheriff continued.

“I have always welcomed honest critique; however, The Bee has resorted to name calling, mischaracterizations, and demonstrated multiple times that they would rather bend a story to fit their own narrative than report facts,” Jones added.

“Perhaps most publicly, you’ve continuously resorted to personal attacks and name-calling, including labeling me as ‘Mini-Trump’ simply from me working to secure our borders, and refusing to back down on soft-on-crime politicians. …” the letter went on to say.

“I will always sit down with honest reporters who try to understand the complex issues facing our communities, and report on them in balanced tones. I do not share the same desire to sit down with The Bee’s Editorial Board,” he continued.

Jones then went on to point out that he was actually rather proud to receive the endorsement of the Sacramento Bee back in 2010 when he ran for sheriff, saying, “when the newspaper still demonstrated a semblance of journalistic integrity. Unfortunately the direction and priories of The Bee have changed.”

One of the editorial writers at the Bee, Jack Ohman, has been very vocal about how much he dislikes Jones.

“He’s been a dreadful sheriff” who once “threw a hissy fit,” Ohman stated in a January editorial titled: “Sacramento Sheriff Scott Jones kowtowed to Trump and cost us dearly. Next stop: Congress!”

“But he’ll fit right into the GOP caucus as a truly accomplished and enabling careerist,” Ohman added.

“The Bee says Ohman is a winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning, and also won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, Scripps Howard Award, national SPJ Award and National Headliner Award,” the WND report stated.

If you take a gander at a piece of his opinion editorial concerning Jones, his own political leanings become crystal clear.

“Jones… said he would vote for Trump but not endorse him. Bold leadership there. God knows where he is on Trump now, but Jones spent time kowtowing to him while he was president. Of course, so did Rubio and scads of other Republican cowards,” Ohman wrote.

“If Jones gets to Congress, which is not out of the realm of possibility, he’ll likely be another Trump mouthpiece,” Ohman continued in his piece.

“My guess is that Jones will again equivocate about a man no less an authority than Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell said was ‘morally responsible’ for a coup against the U.S. government. Law and order, you know. So important to America!” he stated.

“Forget the 140 injured Capitol law enforcement personnel and Officer Brian Sicknick, who suffered two strokes and died after he engaged rioters as they breached the U.S. Capitol,” the opinion piece continued.

“Jones didn’t think it was that big of a deal that some of his deputies flew across the country to attend the rally that preceded the insurrection on Jan. 6, either. Oh, well. Support the blue, except when you don’t,” he continued in his hit piece against Jones.

“In the primary, Jones faces Assemblyman Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin), who racked up 3.5% of the vote in his recall bid last year, behind several other Kevins. Let’s forget Kiley for a moment (if only we could) and imagine Jones as a member of Congress,” the editorial said.

“Secure the border? All his boy Trump did was use the border as a campaign prop to fire up the crazies,” Ohman wrote, going on to say, “Stand up against defunding the police? The police aren’t really in danger of being defunded. And Trump said the rioters who terrorized police as they stormed the Capitol were ‘very special.’ Trump said: ‘We love you.'”

“Given Jones’ escapades over the past few years – do you have all day? – I’m not sure precisely what he would bring to Congress. I suppose he could man the metal detectors on the House floor, installed because the GOP’s sedition caucus couldn’t be trusted,” the portion of Ohman’s piece concluded.

The letter Jones penned against the news publication is getting a lot of praise online with a few comments including:

“He’s correct! The Bee is a propaganda rag,” stated Pamela Routhier.

“I wrote to them years ago to cancel my subscription and tell them they were leading the country down a very dark path with their lack of impartial journalism,” Tera M Kolvenbach posted.

“This country needs more people like you who can’t be swayed by public pressure. So many candidates could learn a lot from your sense of integrity and the values you demonstrate!” Barby Pedro Brilliant went on to say of the letter.

“Thank you for stating what most law abiding citizens in this county are thinking. The Bee is not the main source for news any longer in Sacramento. The Sacramento Bee is nothing more than an opinion paper for those on the left,” said Jim Ortega.

And that’s just a few. There’s a lot more where that came from.

The fact is, the mainstream media outlets in America need to be held accountable for slanted coverage. Especially those that do not in any way, shape, or form allow the other side to accurately present its position on the major issues of the day.

Jones is helping folks see how you do that.
