Nevada Newspaper Smears Sharron Angle With Classic Guilt By Associatio

July 21st, 2010 5:24 PM
Here's a slimy journalistic tactic with which most conservatives are all too familiar: note that two people or groups agree on one point, and then suggest that consequently they must agree on all other points. Chris Matthews (among many others) used this tactic to smear Tea Parties as tantamount to militia groups - both share a distaste for big government, therefore they must agree on all other…

Harry Reid Threatens Las Vegas Newspaper

August 30th, 2009 10:51 PM
Harry Reid, perhaps emulating the bullying tactics of an out-of-control Obama administration, has openly wished for the Las Vegas Review-Journal to ‘go out of business' - a newspaper which has held opposing political viewpoints with the Senator.  But then, is this really shocking coming from a veiled supporter of the Fairness Doctrine? The comment came when Bob Brown, the Journal's Director of…

UNLV Editorial: 'Israelis Indiscriminately Kill Civilians,' Palestinia

March 18th, 2008 1:38 PM
In another example of a shameful editorial by a student "journalist" at an American University newspaper, we find the University of Las Vegas publishing -- not once, but twice -- an editorial that makes the claim that Palestinian suicide bombings of Israeli civilians is justified because "'Israelis indiscriminately kill civilians."

Network Silence on Reid's Ethics; Reid Lawyer Is Brother of Vegas News

October 13th, 2006 12:27 PM
As they did on Thursday, ABC, CBS and NBC again this morning (Friday) omitted any reference to Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid’s evident failure to properly disclose $1.1 million land deal (although all three programs broadcast updates on the two-week old Mark Foley scandal). So far, the only broadcast network coverage has been a benign 30-second mention on Thursday’s NBC Nightly News.One…
