'A Letter From the Editor: The Future of the Sun'

I am very deeply disappointed and disheartened to hear this sad statement [Editorial, "A Letter From the Editor: The Future of the Sun," September 4, 2008].

I have been a subscriber to the Sun for more than three years, and I look forward to it every day.

It is a rare voice — a paper that is intelligently written, is pro-America, pro-Israel, and that covers local, national, and international stories that the other mainstream press and broadcast press outlets choose to ignore.

And did I mention the exceptional columnists?

Please say it ain't so.

Reading your editorial about the dire future of The New York Sun was like receiving a kidney punch [Editorial, "A Letter From the Editor: The Future of the Sun," September 4, 2008].

It has left me reeling. Your newspaper, which has carved a very important and reliable alternative in the now dismal world of journalism, must survive. There is too much at stake here for New Yorkers. I have proudly seen your paper grow under adverse circumstances, and I congratulate you and your staff.
