Deseret News for Pc

I love the in-depth reporting on substantive issues; it is important that in the media, there is a voice like the this app, shedding light and a correct perspective. I also appreciate the thoughtful analysis from the editorial team. So many papers and news outlets post knee-jerk stories to complex problems and incite greater calamity that the original issue should have created. A stable and calm-headed voice like the this app is needed. I would like the DN to include the option to comment on articles from within the app, instead of on social media.

In choosing what news to publish the this app manifests a Pro Israel and Islamophobic bias. Example if the this app were your only source of news you would not know that each Friday demonstrations have occurred on the Gaza/Israel border. In the last nine months about 160 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured on the Gaza side of the border. The cause of these demonstrations is the refugees want to return to their former farms, homes and businesses now located in Israeli occupied lands. Israel refuses to allow these people the right of return. They also refuse to pay compensation for the lands seized by Israel. The killed and injured include men, women and children. The main cause is approaching the Israeli border. Israeli army snipers are the sources of these injuries. Also the moderators of the comments section of the on line edition show the same Anti Islam attitude by refusing to clear comments that might be critical of the Israeli government. At other times the moderators simply ignore comments by saying they will forward the comment to appropriate authorities and the comments are never heard of again. In closing the test if my comments are accurate is if my comments appear in the review section or not

I live in Washington state but have ties to Utah having been a resident there for many years. I don’t watch the news anymore, but I do find the DN app a much more palatable way to stay up to date with national news as well as the local news and events. I love the editorials as well as the faith section. There is a nice balance between the feel good stories, the family life section and the grim realities of world news. Excellent journalism and reporting. Your staff are top notch. It’s the only app I read for news.

Every paper has bias, whether it’s the Salt Lake Tribune, Chicago Tribune, this app, whoever. The this app has been as objective as anyone. The only problem is the comment section being monitored excessively and in a manner that is too controlling. Yes, the this app has the legal right to do this. But sometimes there is a difference between what you have a right to do and what is the right thing to do. Fix that problem and you would get five stars for me.
