Tribune is Agenda-Driven by Dick Sherwin Lewiston Tribune, August 3, 2021

The false prophets of radically extreme environmentalists always claim that if their agenda is not be followed, the result will be extinction. For example, in 1999 Trout Unlimited and some other extremist organizations took out a full-page ad in the New York Times claiming that if the four lower Snake River Dams were not breached, salmon runs in the Snake River system would likely be extinct by 2017.

This was a very dire prediction indeed, but little more than foolish conjecture.

In 1999, the year of the big prediction, 9,937 chinook salmon passed over Lower Granite Dam.

In 2017, the predicted year of extinction, 62,739 chinook salmon crossed over this same dam. That's an increase of 631 percent in a run that was supposedly destined to die out.

The highest total counts for both chinook salmon and steelhead to return up our river system happened in a period between 2000 and 2009.

There are myriad reasons for this huge increase in fish numbers, but the news media will never allow anyone to read the true facts in their venues.

The Lewiston Tribune has seen all this data and still refuses to print it because it does not fit into its radical agenda.

The Tribune is little more than a censoring arm of those who are trying to destroy the economy of the Pacific Northwest for their own ideological purposes. They are more interested in pushing an agenda than reporting the news.
