I am also aware that it is a violation of this same amendment to cry \u201cfire\u201d in a crowded theater if none is present.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You live in Douglas County. I live in Summit County. You have The Denver Post to offer you local news and editorial opinion. I have the Summit Daily News to offer the same. I have since read the pro and con comments of Morgan Liddick\u2019s March 17 \u201cBlind Coronavirus Panic\u201d column. The letters I give the most credence to are those that have been signed by doctors of medicine.&nbsp; They, in so many words, have stated that Liddick\u2019s comments are a threat to the health of Summit County residents. Since I choose to entrust my personal health to this profession, M.D., I will support the con comments regarding Liddick and ask the Summit Daily to remove him from our local publication.<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it interesting to note that the March 24 edition of the Summit Dally, normally Liddick\u2019s day, did not have his pictorial accompanied by his weekly essay. Did the Summit Daily choose to listen to the majority of con comments expressed by its readers? Or more importantly, did the paper\u2019s editorial board believe that Liddick\u2019s comments were a threat to the health of the county as some of our local doctors have expressed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Damm, I guess we can both look forward to the March 31 edition of the Summit Daily News in terms of editorial opinion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/opinion\/letter-to-the-editor-1st-amendment-argument-about-liddick-not-convincing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, Richard Damm of Highlands Ranch (March 25 letter writer), I am aware of the 1st Amendment \u2014 Freedom of the Press.
