A Tale Of Las Vegas Two Newspapers

One newspaper, is fairly conservative.  The second newspaper is a liberal newspaper.  Their handling of the shooting on the Las Vegas Strip in the papers are telling and can be cited as what is the difference between a liberal and a conservative.
The Las Vegas Review Journal is the conservative and they are not shy in calling the thug killed y gunfire a low life, thug, pimp and druggie. 
From the LVRJ: Kenneth Cherry Sr. set aside his grief long enough to hold a Saturday news conference after the shooting death of his son, Kenny Cherry Jr., two days earlier on Las Vegas Boulevard.
After suffering a gunshot wound to the chest early Thursday, a dying Cherry Jr. drove his leased Maserati into a Desert Cab, killing driver Michael Boldon and passenger Sandra Sutton-Wasmund of Seattle.
Cherry Sr. called his son an aspiring rapper with the moniker "Kenny Clutch" a good kid who was a victim of senseless violence.
But dad didn't tell the reporters present what the 27-year-old did to pay the condo rent and the lease on that Maserati. If we presume for the sake of discussion Kenneth Sr. didn't know his son was a pimp, the father needn't have looked far for confirmation.
While the grieving father made much of his deceased son's gentle nature, the facts say otherwise. Dad's protestations aside, in 2007 Cherry Jr. was convicted of a gun charge in California. According to court documents, he severely beat a former girlfriend who also was the mother of one of his children.
After she tired of being used as a prostitute and watching every dollar she earned go into his pocket, the fights and beatings escalated.
On Sept. 1, 2011, at the apartment they shared, she would write in an affidavit, "He chased me down the hall. I tried to lock myself in the bathroom. He broke the door and started hitting me, over and over again. I tried to protect myself in the corner of the shower. He hit me so many times I was seeing stars. I finally managed to run out into the hallway and he came after me, hitting me until I collapsed on the floor where he proceeded to kick me twice, once in my head and once in my thigh. He then threw me out into the main hallway and locked me out of the apartment until he left."
Sounds like the good kid was having a bad day, but that's the way it is with pimps.  http://www.lvrj.com/news/victim-in-las-vegas-strip-shooting-worked-as-a-pimp-193164971.html
And from the Las Vegas Sun, which is the liberal newspaper: Kenneth Cherry Jr.’s girlfriend on Tuesday vehemently refuted media reports that Cherry, who was shot to death while driving his Maserati on the Las Vegas Strip, was a pimp.
Asmayit Hagos, 22, of Alameda, Calif., said Cherry never harmed her. “He put everyone before himself,” Hagos said during a news conference at a Las Vegas law office. “He was not abusive. Not once.”
Hagos also flatly denied media reports that Cherry had abused other women. But in 2011, another California woman filed a restraining order accusing Cherry of domestic violence.
Cherry and Hagos had discussed marriage, she said, but she never asked the aspiring rapper about his income or how he had the money to afford an expensive Maserati sports car.

 The Sun has run article after article praising the thug Cherry/Clutch/Chuckles the Clown and only a few small articles about the other victims of the shooting/crash.
Just another difference between liberals- supporting thugs and conservatives- not supporting thugs.
