Pravda Of Las Vegas
Flashback to when the old Soviet Union was still around, they had the Pravda newspaper. The Pravda was the mouth piece of the Soviet Government. They mostly reported good things about the government and if there bad things, they wouldn't report it or they make a bad report look good. They would also demonize the government's opponents. In the West, Pravda was a joke and from what I have read, Pravda wasn't very well respected in the Soviet Union either.
Now, in 2010, we have the similar version of Pravda here in Las Vegas. Of course, there are liberal newspapers throughout the United States, most of them actually, but when it comes to imitating Pravda, you can not get a more glaring example of the Las Vegas Sun.
The Sun makes no bones about it, they are the whores for Harry Reid and Rory No Last Name. The Sun are the prostitutes and the Reid's are the pimps and johns.
Just like Pravda, the Sun refuses to run news stories that make the Reids look bad. They won't run poor poll numbers for the Reids, just the good ones. The latest polls show Harry Reid barely beating Sharron Angle, leading by 1 point. No story. But when Reid was up by 8 points, the Sun was gleefully reporting Reid was up by that amount. Rory No Last Name has been beaten up by Brian Sandoval in the polls but if you read the Sun, you would never realize it. I can't even remember the last time the Sun has run a poll in the governor's race.
They won't run stories about the CCFD firefighter's union criticizing Rory No Last Name, even though the vast majority of media in the Valley have reported on it. But Jon Ralston is trying to make a mountain about a quote that Sandoval may have made or not made about his children. It's a quote that has nothing to do with the race for governor.
The Sun also loves to demonize the political opponents of the Reid's. They have employed Jon Ralston as a columnist and blogger. Ralston demonizes his opponents, which is no surprise. What is surprising is how he does it. He has resorted to racism, lying, distorting the truth, not reporting news and so much more. I don't like to call people names, unless it is warranted, but in this case, it is clear, Jon Ralston is a racist. (http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2010/07/now-jon-ralston-is-racist.html) Jon Ralston is a liar and has been on several occasions including claiming to see three polls showing Harry Reid leading. when called out on it, he refused to cite the polls.
Brian Greenspun, the editor of the Las Vegas Sun, is a limousine liberal, who has inherited the Sun from his mother and father and he loves to demonize conservatives while calling for civility in discussions. He claims, with a straight face, that conservatives want to destroy democracy. He wants voters to be thoughtful int he voting booth, you are only thoughtful if you vote for Democrats. He is just a total clown who you can not take seriously.
Then you have Anjeannte Damon, who is a journalist and a very liberal blogger. The only problem is that Damon blogs about the people she writes about as a journalist. Her bias is quite obvious in her news stories that sometimes you cannot tell if she is blogging or writing a "news" story. Her "stories" and blogs can be intertwined.
The old editors of Pravda would be proud that there is a newspaper in the United States that imitate their newspaper. They would be proud of the racism, the demonizing of opponents, the lying, the distorting of the facts, the refusal to report on real news stories and the lunacy of it's editors.
Maybe this is the actual goal of the Las Vegas Sun, become an old style Soviet Union communist party newspaper. If it is, they have been successful.
