Another Las Vegas Sun Scandal?

Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water, we have another Las Vegas Sun scandal. While this case may be a case of lazy, very lazy reporting, it just shows no matter who they employ at the Las Vegas Sun, they just do not hire ethical writers.
Next up in the unethical journalistic category: Delen Goldberg. Could it be that Delen is a liar, joining the likes of unethical journalists at the Sun like Ralston (liar, racist), Damon (blogger and/or journalist but either way, unethical) and Greenspun (editorial writer, limo liberal, liar and another liberal who get's his wealth through inheritance)
So, we have Delen Goldberg writing an article about Dina Titus's new TV commercial in which she touts that she has helped people with their mortgage problems. Ok, I have some problems with the commercial, but not a really big deal, until it was learned that Titus lied in the commercial. She claims that she voted against the bank bailout (it was a lie that did not even have to happen- it really wasn't even related to the commercial) when she wasn't even in Congress at the time the bailout was passed.
So now, we have Goldberg writing this: "Republicans responded by blaming Titus and the Democrats for ballooning foreclosure and unemployment rates."

I challenged the Sun to put up or shut up and they ignored it in the comments section.
The fact is that the GOP came out in full force and called out Titus and her lie. Dr. Joe Heck said this: "Dina “Tax-Us” Titus is already at it. She is up on TV with a misleading ad on her record. The ad claims that Dina voted against the bank bailout, but there is only one problem... she wasn't even in Congress during the original bank bailout vote! Nevadans know Dina's record better than she does. They know that the failed Titus - Pelosi policies have led us on a destructive path of record foreclosures and the highest unemployment in the nation!"

From the LVRJ: "Republicans on Tuesday morning lashed out at the ad, specifically questioning how Titus could claim to have voted against the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, since she wasn't in Congress in October 2008, when the $700 billion bank bailout bill was approved. She actually cast a vote in a subsequent measure to block the release of the second $350 billion in TARP money. But that vote was symbolic only, as the money was already cleared for release."

So, Delen Goldberg, the GOP did not come and say "Republicans responded by blaming Titus and the Democrats for ballooning foreclosure and unemployment rates.
So, now, we have another Las Vegas Sun reporter who does not tell the truth. So, Mr. Goldberg, you will fit right at home with the liars, racists and journalists who lack integrity. Welcome to the Las Vegas Sun.
