I don’t usually write such short diaries, but this was….weird.
Today, I received a “sample copy” of The Epoch Times, which is not just a conservative rag but a strongly pro-Trump, QAnon-advancing, virulently anti-China rag. (Put it this way: they refer to COVID-19 as “the CCP virus”.) It was addressed to “Current Resident”, so I’m assuming that everyone in my small town received a copy. This was the first time that The Epoch Times has made such an appearance in my area.
My question is...WHY?!
I live in rural Kentucky, a state that hasn’t gone Democratic for President since Bill Clinton, elected both Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul to the US Senate, and has but a single Democratic Representative (John Yarmuth, from Louisville).
Who thought it necessary — and, presumably, paid for — doing a mass mailing of Epoch Times in KENTUCKY?….
Did anyone else receive this “sample edition” in the last few days?
