Dominion Post Responds to Emails from MassResistance

 It's really sad that a newspaper editor in West Virginia felt compelled to write a lengthy justification for their targeted shame and defame" campaign against Cindy Frich of Morgantown, West Virginia.

Notice the letter that she wrote to me in response to my letters to both of these propagandists disguised as journalists, who were hell-bent on shaming a local conservative activist who cares about children and fights for faith, family, and freedom:

Mr. Schaper,

We initially chose to remain silent as your calls and emails have been rude and threatening. This one is a little calmer so I will address your points, but then our conversation will end.

1.       We are not harassing, shaming or defaming Cindy Frich.

2.       We did report the facts (though you blogged about some of them first, so I’m not sure why you care).

3.       Anyone can share views on Facebook, but Facebook is a public forum and Cindy, despite her arguments to the contrary, is a public person. She has represented Monongalia County in state government and continues to seek a seat in the Legislature, as recently as the most recent election. Just because she lost does not mean she is no longer a public figure.

4.       We are not demonizing anyone and no one said Cindy was a demon or even a bad person. We gave her every opportunity to explain her post and why she thought it important to share publically and then we published verbatim her response.

5.       We have never been told of threats against Cindy locally, nationally and internationally, until now. She never contacted us to ask about doing a story and we never saw a police report on it. We have a reporter who goes to law enforcement agencies and talks to officers, deputies and troopers regularly. Never a mention. If Cindy says she contacted us or filed a police report, I’d like to know who she spoke with.

6.       We don’t troll Facebook posts, though social media has made using those sites part of our jobs. We have readers who share things they see with us on  a daily basis.

7.       Again, we did not harass anyone and Cindy is not a private citizen.

 

Thank you.

Dear David and Pam:

 

This is the second email that I am writing to you regarding your ongoing harrassment and attempts to shame and defame Cindy Frich.

 

Your silence is not acceptable. You are expected to report facts, not push propaganda nor target innocent citizens who share views on their social media platforms.

 

Have you finally relented in your perverse pursuit to attempt to demonize a godly woman who simply cares about the well-being of children and families?

 

Again, I am going to ask: why did you not write about the numerous threats that Cindy Frich has endured, both locally as well as nationally and internationally?

 

Why would any newspaper spend time going over social media posts of a local resident? Is the Dominion Post in such decline that they feel compelled to harass a private citizen?

West Virginia Newspaper Harasses MassResistance Activist, Trying to Shame and Intimidate Pro-Family Activists

Cindy Frich of Morgantown, West Virginia is one of the bravest women in the Mountain State.

The state's motto is "Mountain People are Always Free." She exemplifies it.

She has not been afraid to speak out for faith, family, and freedom. She took a bold stance against Drag Queen Story Hour at the Morgantown, West Virginia library in late 2019.

Because of her efforts with other local MassResistance activists, they were able to get the Drag Queen Story Hour program shut down! Here's the whole story.

Of course, her bold stances against the LGBT agenda have caused her some pushback and she has made some enemies in her state.

The abuses that she has endured are something else:

1. She has been doxxed numerous times.

2. She has received death threats.

3. The local politicians have specifically targeted her for her strong pro-family stance.

4. The local press looks for every instance possible to shame and defame her.

The latest newspaper that has sunk to this new low? 

The Dominion Post:

A reporter is now on the beat to report the latest "news" about a Facebook post that Cindy Frich, a private citizen, posted on her social media.

Here's the reporter: David Beard

Here's the email that "journalist" David Beard sent to Cindy Frich:

At this time, Cindy has wisely refrained from responding. It's crystal clear that this propagandist disguised as a journalist is interested in writing a hit piece to shame, defame, and ultimately intimidate Cindy Frich.

David then wrote a follow-up email:

For the record, here's the meme that Cindy Frich posted:

Also, Cindy just received another death threat on the above post:

Notice in the above emails that propagandist David Beard is clearly pushing a narrative, an agenda when he blatantly contradicts which Frich wrote. He insists on defending Rachel Levine, for example, when it's the job of a journalist to gather facts. And what kind of journalist spends his time trolling the social media of citizens in the community for news? Is this how bad journalism has become?

In effect, David Beard is lying and trying to push a false, pro-LGBT agenda, since the facts remain that Pennsylvania Health Director Rachel Levine (a man pretending to be a woman) did indeed remove his mother from a nursing home, while he directed all over Pennsylvania residents with COVID-19 to go into nursing homes. Those elder residents were much more susceptible to catching the illness and dying. In a number of states, Democratic governors ordered elderly patients who had suffered from COVID-19 to return to the nursing homes. The number of deaths among the elderly populations in those homes skyrocketed.

And yes, Rachel Levine, the health director in Pennsylvania at the time, was responsible for many of those deaths in his home state, too.

For the record, in the emails above, you will notice that the "journalist" David Beard insists on calling him a "her". That is outlandish and outrageous, further demonstrating how corrupted and propagandist the local media has become in many states, including West Virginia.

I am urging everyone who is reading this post to contact David Beard and the Dominion Post. Tell them to stop harrassing Cindy Frich, and tell them to stop printing lies about the LGBT Agenda, and tell them to stop promoting progressive, statist politicians while also shaming, defaming, and ultimately intimidating local residents who care about faith, family, and freedom--and who are not afraid to speak out against the destructive lies of the LGBT Agenda.

Update:

As of this writing, Dave Beard wrote the following to Cindy Frich:

I appreciate your concern about the safety of your parents. 

I'm not a lawyer and don't know your precise public figure status, but you recently ran for public office and have been a long-time public figure, and posted the meme on a public forum that generated 114 comments (some of the being your replies, of course), 58 emoji responses and 29 shares. There is a legitimate public interest in the public comments of someone who has run for and held office and could possibly run again. We would do the same for any office holder or candidate regardless of party. We always seek to be balanced, accurate, responsible and fair, which his why we have made sure to offer you the opportunity to state your vies.

I don't really need to address your questions about internal newspaper matters but I'll say that deadline on election night didn't allow time to contact all 10 or 11 51st District candidates and you weren't singled out, and stories noted the close margin. And unfortunately, our usual campaign finance stories took a back seat to COVID coverage.
