The Los Angles Tribune ran a news article that the Sun linked yesterday stating that both Las Vegas newspapers have biases in this U.S. Senate race between Harry Reid and Sharron Angle.
I don't think there is much argument that both sides have their biases but yet the Sun doesn't want to admit theirs.
First, the article from the Tribune is pretty much a love fest with the Las Vegas Sun. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-onthemedia-20100717,0,108228.column
Well, I don't know, and I may be naive, but the fact that Brian Greenspun, the editor of the Sun, is on the Tribune board of directors, which owns the Los Angeles Times may have something to do with that? And of course, the Las Vegas Sun doesn't mention this small detail either in their article. Nothing like being ethical, hey Las Vegas Sun? I always thought potential conflict of interests should be reported.
Is the Review biased? Sure, but nothing compared to the Sun. Yesterday, the LVRJ announced a poll that shows Sharron Angle losing to Harry Reid. How about the Sun. Any articles showing Angle beating Harry Reid? Of course not. In addition, the true columnists for the LVRJ do get pissy with conservatives.
The Sun has an "independent journalist" who also is a liberal blogger for the paper on the same people she writes about. Right, Annjeanette Damon? Oh, yes, that is ethical. (sarasm)
Brian Greenspun and the Sun write about civility in the Senate race but yet, Brian Greenspun is so filled of hatred that it makes the KKK and Nazi's proud. (no, Greenspun is not a member of the KKK or Nazi's, of course, but his hatred is at least equal to those horrible groups)
Jon Ralston already admits he throws interviews with Harry Reid and won't ask him hard answers or ask follow up questions. When it comes to interviewing liberals, Ralston can be my pitcher on my slow pitch softball team with all the softballs he throws. Not to mention that Jon Ralston tends to lie every now and then.
And of course, the comment section of the Las Vegas Sun is pathetic. They have 2 standards, one for Harry Reid and one for Sharron Angle. If a story is about Harry Reid, they restrict the comments to those who belong to Facebook. However, if the story is about Sharron Angle, then they open up the comments to everyone.
But yet if you point out these inconsistencies to the Sun, your comments are deleted. I wonder why? Afraid of the truth?
So, stay classy, Las Vegas Sun. Hide under the rock you call home and don't forget to put on your red clown noses and hats when you enter the Las Vegas Sun headquarters.
