Let's Spot the Bias Game

There was a City of Las Vegas forum last night and it was reported on by "reporter" Delen Goldberg, one of the Las Vegas Sun's unethical reporting crew. From the looks of things, this was a fairly conservative audience and it really pained Goldberg to attend. He must have taken a good amount of illegal drugs to get through and you can tell he must have been using drugs by the way he wrote the story.
Let's start the bias reporting game from this story: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/feb/24/debate-crowd-pounces-issue-firefighter-sick-leave/
1. Giunchigliani received the harshest reception, which wasn’t surprising given the conservative audience and her liberal views. She said she expected she might encounter differences of opinion but had promised to participate in every debate and wanted to hear people’s different perspectives
2. Many in the group also confused the idea Giunchigliani mentioned with the high-speed passenger train proposals being discussed and advocated by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and President Barack Obama.
Harris and Chaltiel both called those high-speed rail projects a “stupid” use of tax dollars.
Ross again remained silent.
“It’s a horrible idea,” one woman grumbled as Giunchigliani tried to explain her position.

3. Emboldened by the collective dissatisfaction, a woman then blasted Giunchigliani for introducing herself as a school teacher rather than a county commissioner.
Forum host Bob Lampert interrupted to say that he had previously stated Giunchigliani’s commissioner title.
“I’m a school teacher on unpaid leave and I’m also a county commissioner,” Giunchigliani said

4. Still, this particular group’s reaction to Giunchigliani is likely a weak indication of her overall standing in the race. She is considered to be one of the front-runners.
Remember, this was a conservative event. Giunchigliani almost certainly would have received a far more favorable reaction at a gathering of progressives.

Gee, I wonder what this liberal maggot of a reporter, Goldberg is cheering for?
I wonder if Goldberg even knows what journalism ethics are?
But I know why he was hired by the Sun: he is unethical, not very bright, liberal and probably has his nose and up the editor of the Las Vegas Sun's butt so far that it comes out Brian Greenspun's mouth.
