Other failures, too

To the Editor,

I read with interest the January 15 editorial “What Bubble?” I found its essence in paragraph seven: “Closing our eyes to truth, turning away from each other, and being unable to imagine the experiences of people different from ourselves: Those are three of the failures that made January 6 possible.” I think people on both sides of the aisle can agree with the editor’s conclusion. I would add three additional “failures” that gave rise to the January 6 event: deceiving, condescending to, and censoring or silencing voices of others. In my opinion, these are also worthy of the attention and concern of the press, whether it be a local newspaper, the mainstream media, or big tech.
