The New York Times June 4 Glueck/Lerer last-minute smear piece on Graham Platner struck me as the very definition of yellow journalism — exploitive, sensational, and designed to boost sales. 

I’m inclined to get a refund for my longtime NYT subscription and give it to the local Maine papers that are reporting on the facts and policies of these campaigns. Yes, I’m still voting for Mr. Platner, and next time you publish a photograph of my stone wall you might ask permission first. 

The NYT and these two writers have sunk to new lows. Any undecided Maine voter who is tempted to fall for this sort of manipulation should go listen to Platner speak.
