The March 9 edition of the Gazette-Times included a letter to the editor under the headline \"Censorship Simply Doesn't Work.\" The author, John Larsen of Corvallis, compared Sean Spicer to Joseph Goebbels and seems to say that Spicer believes what he is required to say in those press conferences. <\/p>\n

Spicer is not a minister of propaganda; he is employed as a spokesman for our delusional president and must try to twist Trump's wild statements into more reasonable language. His performance is painful to watch. The worst I can say about him is that he lacks personal honor. <\/p>\n

Mr. Larsen closes his letter with a statement that censorship did not work for Hitler. Of course it did! The enthusiastic support given by the German people to the Nazis during the 1930s was certainly affected by pro-Hitler propaganda and the absence of dissent. We must guard against censorship because it IS effective. <\/p>\n
