Sun Falls For Titus Lie But Still Endorses Her

The fact that Dina Titus was endorsed by the Las Vegas is not a surprise. But the Sun really had to stretch to endorse her.
Dina Titus was caught lying that she voted against the TARP bill, even though she wasn't in Congress when TARP passed and had nothing to do with the bill.

In today's Sun's endorsement, they said this: Heck has tried to paint Titus as a tax-and-spend liberal, but that isn’t the case. A National Journal review of lawmakers’ votes determined Titus to be a centrist. Titus has split with her party on several key issues, including additional funding for the Troubled Asset Relief Program. She initially opposed the health care bill, objecting to provisions that she said would hurt families and small business. She voted for it after getting those provisions changed. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/oct/11/clear-picks-house/
In addition, she didn't get anything changed in the health care bill, The Sun is just lying about these issues.
And someone who is a centrist, does not vote with Nancy Pelosi over 93% of the time.
Why doesn't the Sun just come and be honest. Why don't they just say, we like Dina Titus because she is liberal. That's more believable than making up lies about her. Dina Titus has told enough lies herself, the Sun doesn't need to keep lying for her, she does a good enough job lying by herself.
