Lately, The Las Vegas Sun has been doing a pretty good job reporting politics. They have been pretty fair and honest, for both GOP and the Democrats.
Well, apparently Anjeannette Damon could not handle the withdrawal symptoms of good journalism and fell off the wagon and went back to her usual ways, dishonest journalism.
Today, she reports on an obscure poll that shows Harry Reid with a lead in the Senate race between Reid and Sharron Angle.
From Damon's dishonest article: "For weeks, public polling in the U.S. Senate race has told the story of a neck-and-neck fight between Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican rival Sharron Angle.
But on Friday, a survey by a noted Republican pollster showed Reid pulling ahead for the first time since the early days of the general election campaign.
According to the results, the Democrat leads Angle 45 percent to 40 percent. The 5-point advantage is just barely above the margin of error, meaning the statistical tie might have been broken."

Of corse, Damon in her dishonest ways, fails to mention other polls that show the race to be tied or Angle in the lead.
For instance, in the poll that the LVRJ did, it showed that Angle and Reid were tied.
Rassmussen/Fox and CNN/Times show Angle leading Reid by one point each.

Damon is a dishonest journalist. What she wrote was a "news" article and not her blog. If this was he blog, I would have no problem with what she wrote, but this was a "news" article. As a journalist, you are supposed to be non-partisan and write the story honestly, but Damon doesn't have the ethics to do this. Damon is a prostitute to Harry Reid and his campaign, so she will lie, leave out important information or do anything she can, to help her john.
It's a shame because I honestly thought the Sun was coming around and becoming honest in their reporting. I guess I was wrong.
