  Why is propaganda sold at our grocery stores?

  I was appalled to see, at our community store, this anti-immigrant, conspiracy theory-touting “newspaper,” The Epoch Times, which is tied to Falun Gong, a Chinese cult. This secretive newspaper puts forth political vitriol, online conspiracy theories and promotes Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant policies.

  During these times when there have been domestic terrorist shootings in El Paso and an increase in all hate crimes, it is irresponsible of stores to sell such trash. It is hailed by neo-Nazis and white supremacists worldwide. Facebook has banned advertising from Epoch Times. Independent reporters have likened it to a Russian troll farm.

  There is no place in our community for foreign-based, anti-immigrant, anti-gay fake news that divides us.

  These are desperate times in which unstable people can be triggered to do violent acts based on what they read. Demand legitimate news from your vendors.
