I’d prefer my newspaper, not print conspiracy theories

I find it terribly disturbing that your long-standing effort to bring the news to Galveston is tarnished by the rambling string of multiple conspiracy theories, spouted by Salvatore J. Ali on your opinion page (“COVID a plot to destroy freedom, Western democracy,” The Daily News, Oct. 2).

The entirety of his letter was nothing but debunked conspiracy, and you gave it a public platform. I’ve found your paper to be quite even-handed in the reporting of news, and this public airing of conspiracy and deadly misinformation is troubling.
