Publisher Hero - Sherman Frederick - Las Vegas Review Journal - Stands for Integrity
Sherman Frederick, , the Publisher of the Las Vegas Review Journal had a few words for Harry Reid, his State Senator (D-NV) and Senate Majority Leader in a recent op-ed piece. One thing is certain, if there is a shoe around lately, Senator Reid manages to insert it into his mouth. It is enough that he has repeatedly mischaracterized those who oppose the current version of Health Care Reform, and most recently, stuck his nose into Massachusetts States Politics, where it does not belong, but he had the gaul to attack the largest newspaper in his home State. These actions may lead some to believe that Harry has lost his mind, and may not longer be fit to legislate.

Harry may be a bit disconcerted over the recent polls, which show Reid trailing Republican Danny Tarkanian, by an astounding 11 points – astounding because Mr. Tarkanian just announced his candidacy within the past month. Perhaps this is why, when at a business luncheon on the campaign trail, Senator Reid told an advertising salesperson for the Las Vegas Review Journal that he hoped the paper would go out of business.
The Las Vegas Review Journal is one of the few newspapers left in this nation that has any integrity what-so-ever, and continues to report, not editorialize the news. This means that when Reid does something noteworthy, he gets praise, or if he pulls a stupid stunt, then he is called on it. Other newspapers can be counted on to treat Reid, (and by extension, others in the Democrat circle of Obama) as some sort of second coming, with never a word that would condemn or criticize any of the aforementioned in anyway (see New York Times.)
Speaking of Las Vegas, if one is putting any money on Harry Reid’s re-election - it is a long-shot, and although the payoff would be high, some might consider it a wasted opportunity. (and cash). Mr. Reid, like Mr. Daschle before him, will become but a footnote of history. Only Senator Reid can choose how the residents of Nevada (not the New York Times, the DNC, etc.) will choose to remember him. Perhaps wishing a large employer, and a member of an embattled industry ill, is not the way to go about ensuring one’s legacy will be kindly treated in one’s home state.
To be applauded for pluck, and calling it as he sees it, the publisher of the Review Journal and President of Stephen’s Media, Sherman Frederick.

I loved this slap down by the paper.
Now if we can just get his counterpart in the House to follow him out.
