To the editor: That The Instances continues to provide undeserved consideration to the crackpot presidential marketing campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., underneath the guise of journalistic stability, is most aggravating and disturbing.
Your current article, “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. struggles for relevance as presidential marketing campaign is remade,” all however admits that his candidacy is irrelevant, however fails so as to add that it solely ever was related as a spoiler.
And The Instances’ continued protection helps be certain that that’s what it’d find yourself being, probably to the detriment of our already fragile democracy.

To the editor: “Kennedy appears to make information solely when he’s performed one thing, properly, bizarre,” says columnist Robin Abcarian, who writes for a media outlet that actually makes the information.
By dedicating newsprint to tales greater than a decade previous about canine, worms and bears — as an alternative of Kennedy’s 2024 platform to avoid wasting the center class, construct a coalition authorities, curtail the nationwide debt, and safe our borders — you create the very narrative you deride. It’s like criticizing somebody for being within the highlight whilst you’re the one holding the flashlight.
If Kennedy’s previous is so attention-grabbing, why not deal with issues that truly matter, corresponding to his authorized victories which have led to cleaner water and stronger world environmental and conservation insurance policies?
The lawfare difficult Kennedy’s poll entry and the unabashed makes an attempt by each events and the mainstream media to silence, censure and smear this bizarre, admittedly flawed human being with the braveness to face alone — now, that’s information.
