To the Editor:
    My thesaurus offers: lie, fib, dissemble, dissimulate, misinform,
mislead, prevaricate...none of which appear in your article on Sean
Spicer's bizarre, dishonest performance. If this 'paper won't bluntly
confront a falsehood, it cannot hold our government to account. What
then is it for?
