A County Commissioner.
The president of the local chamber of commerce.

Logical arguments will not move the "real journalism is fake news" crowd, who think that anyone who has any expertise is a liar, all statistics are made up, and anything that goes against their preconceived notions is a socialist plot to destroy America.
