Las Vegas Sun Hits A New Low

The Las Vegas Sun, in it's quest to be the worst newspaper in the country sinks to a new low today when it said that Jim Gibbons compared fellow GOP candidate for governor, Brian Sandoval to Nazis. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/may/06/governor-compares-sandoval-nazis/
Never mind that the Sun made no direct quote of the allegation. The Sun also quotes Gibbons as supporting racial profiling and yet has to produce a quote that sustains that allegation.
I am not defending Jim Gibbons nor am I supporter, but this crap that is put out by the Las Vegas Sun under the guise of news is despicable. The writer of this article, David McGrawth Schwartz is a despicable journalist. If he has a direct quote that Jim Gibbons compares Sandoval to Nazis, then use it in the article. But Schwartz uses this article to slam both Gibbons and Sandoval. I'd say Schwartz ought to go back to journalism school and actually learn something about ethics and journalism, but he is so far gone that there is little chance he will ever become an ethical reporter.
Is there a worse newspaper i n the United States? I am sure there is somewhere. Maybe some underground Nazi newspaper comes to mind. Maybe that is who the Sun wants to emulate.
