The Real Scandal

From an SDP reader in Renner:

I see that SDP has been discussing how quick the Argus Leader was to report and undermine Bob Sahr, a Republican, and how the blogs have exposed how the Argus Leader had all the information about "rumors" about Dan Sutton the Democrat and hid them.  That's the real scandal.  The Sutton thing will be resolved after an investigation, but who will hold the Argus Leader accountable for deliberately tanking Republicans while trying to let Democrats off the hook (until the Argus was exposed by the blogs)?  Probably nobody will hold them accountable, and the whole group of liberal leaders at the Argus like Chuck Baldwin-Pat Lalley-Dave Kranz-Pete Harriman will continue to run the paper like they are the agitprop coordinators of the SD Democratic Party.  Does anyone take the Argus that seriously?  Especially after their laughable transition to a "new Argus," which almost everyone agrees stinks.  People who work at the Argus say privately that the response has been uniformly negative to the new format.  Will the Argus Leader report that?  Or will they just run a letter opposing the format and one praising the format here and there and pass that off as "objective"?  If the Argus really reported reality they'd have to concede that the "new Argus" format was a flop and that they tanked Bob Sahr while trying to let Sutton off the hook.
