LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Outhouse of a country’ would be better

OPINION:

It’s hard to believe the amount of news coverage that is given to the non-news story about our president allegedly calling less-than-blessed countries s-holes. While there are enough witnesses claiming that he never said those words to make the story a non-starter, the coverage continues. Even though the president may have never said those words, those reporting those words obviously never heard of political correctness. No county should ever be referred to as a s-hole. The political correct phraseology is “Outhouse of a country.” I suggest the news media refrain from the s-hole comments and use the politically correct terminology in the future.
