The Race To Become The Las Vegas Sun's Village Idiot

There is a race at the Las Vegas Sun's headquarters to become the Village Idiot of the Sun. There is so much competition, it's hard to keep score.
First, there is Lisa Mascaro, who is the Washington DC. reporter for the Sun. She wouldn't know how to write a news article with facts, but she has to put her opinions in the article as well. And of course, being an ultra liberal, the facts become liberal talking points. She couldn't pass the Sesame Street School of Journalism the way she writes news(opinion) pieces.
Then you have Brian Greenspun. the editor of the Sun. He actually wrote an editorial complaining about all the hate in politics and then only mentioned conservatives. Apparently, in his very little mind, liberals never do anything bad. But since the Greenspun family owns the Sun, we are stuck reading the comedy filled editorials from Geenspun.
Next up in the competition for Village Idiot is Jon Ralston. This is the goof who has tried singlehandly to make the alleged Tea Party of Nevada candidate a legitimate contender for Harry Reid's seat. Unfortunately, for the Ralston and the Sun, little Johnny Ashjian is polling about the same as my hound dog or Michael Vick. But today, Ralston wrote this about the lawsuit between a crazed loon and Jim Gibbons and an alleged sexual assault: In a startling 72-page response to Gov. Jim Gibbons' attempt to have the case dismissed, Chrissy Mazzeo, through her lawyer, has rebutted the presumption that there is not enough evidence to proceed. The document is replete with facts, speculation and innuendo. It also asserts there is prima facie evidence that videotapes were altered;... http://www.lasvegassun.com/blogs/ralstons-flash/2010/apr/21/astonishing-doc-filed-case-vs-gov-gibbons-told-chr/ So, is Ralston a lawyer? I don't think so. But he presents this as fact. Is it his opinion? Maybe, but coherent thoughts by Ralston is an unusual event.
Further, the headline reads this: "Astonishing doc filed in case vs. gov: “Gibbons told Chrissy he was going to rape her, his plans were simply foiled.” Hmm, but in his report, he fails to mention this and he has you read a 65 page document to find it. Needless to say, Ralston is just being lazy. To say Ralston is a reporter is not accurate because he is not smart enough- a commentator? Lazy. Blogger? Hahaha
So, the race to become the Las Vegas Sun's Village Idiot continues. Who will win? Will the casinos put up odds? Can their be more one Village Idiot? The suspense is killing me.
