The Issue: “60 Minutes” anchor Scott Pelley’s anti-Trump commencement speech at Wake Forest University.
Contrary to what Scott Pelley said, America’s free speech is not under attack (“Sinking to the depths of Pell,” Michael Goodwin, May 28).
No, the public is under attack from so-called journalists like Pelley who continue to fail miserably by not being investigative or independent when covering news stories.
Despite Pelley’s years of journalistic experience, he couldn’t even use language that would’ve inspired and encouraged the graduating class at North Carolina’s Wake Forest University to be optimistic about the future as they embark on their careers.
His rage and tone seemed to be the result of an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
He owes the Class of 2025 an apology for his horrible presentation.

Scott Pelley’s rant at Wake Forest should be a career-ender.
His address was vile and sophomoric; whoever booked him should also be canned.
The mystery is how such benighted people gain access to forums that are dedicated to being free of bias.

Some of the most seasoned news journalists are beginning to show their true colors.
Rather than share insightful and uplifting words on this joyous occasion, Pelley felt compelled to try to indoctrinate a whole new crop of graduates.
I’m seriously worried about the well-being of Pelley — and some of his misguided colleagues.
He closed his eyes at times and was absurdly waving his arms as though he was at a religious revival. This was pure histrionic behavior at its best.
My sympathies go out to the students who had to endure this unconvincing stage performance.
The last thing that new graduates want to hear is doomsday pessimism.
My advice to Mr. Pelley: Next time, leave your personal baggage at home and sulk on your own time.

Goodwin’s piece about Pelley spewing his TDS rhetoric to a captive audience of graduates and their parents (most of whom probably voted for Trump) was spot-on.
Pelley’s ramblings that the rule of law, journalism and freedom of speech are “under attack” left out the inconvenient truth that the first volleys were initiated by radical left prosecutors and judges, media outlets and universities.
This can more accurately be described as a well-deserved counterattack.

The Issue: King Charles’ trip to Canada and comments about the country joining the United States.
King Charles III is visiting one of the Commonwealth’s countries, Canada, to remind anyone who doesn’t understand history that it won’t be the 51st state (“Aim of throne: Defend Canada,” May 28).
President Trump is still enthusiastic about his plan, but all of his bluster is not going to be enough to beat the British royal family, who have over 1,000 years of experience handling all of the various upstarts who have annoyed them.
Donald, stick with 50 stars on the flag.

King Charles: Welcome to Canada!
We cordially invite you to see Alberta one last time, while it’s still part of the Commonwealth.
Albertans are used to liberals making screwy decisions, which is why we want to leave Canada.

King Charles should mind his own business.
It’s of no concern to him if Canada becomes part of the US.
