In my junior high school civics class, I don’t recall a single time that we ever heard the term “fake news.” That phrase is a relatively new phenomenon.

On October 25, 2020, the following “letter to the editor” was published in the Ledger. Others have since republished it too. I’m a European university-educated woman from Tehran.

The first phrase in the headline using the term “trailer park” is from U.S Senator Thom Tillis (NC-R). He says “trailer park” as a point of some pride to underscore his humble roots.
