Regrettable
Political operatives are opening fake local news websites. They are attempting to mislead voters into thinking stories on them are objective when they are nothing more than partisan propaganda. It is regrettable and dishonest. There is nothing wrong with taking sides. Newspapers in America started that way, and some still survive with a political bent. What is wrong is a pretense of objectivity when there is nothing of the sort in online columns. The publishers have no scruples, but that's not unusual in politics. The lowest forms of persuasion and publicity have all found their way into campaigns. There is no dignity in doing anything to win, which is the way many campaign operators act on both sides of the political spectrum. The malefactors this time are Republicans. Look for Democrats to follow suit.
