It all depends on whose ox is being gored

A week ago the putative editor of the Las Vegas Sun Brian Greenspun upbraided the Review-Journal for daring to commit journalism and lectured us on how we should not tell our readers about how tax money is being spent at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority during these tough times when the city needs all the tourists it can muster. The headline read: “This is a time for propping up, not for tearing down.”

Further down in the column he chided this newspaper for daring to raise questions about a public agency making contributions to the Denver-based National Jewish Medical and Research Center.

An alert reporter has since pointed out an article in the Denver Business Journal from two years ago reporting that the Greenspun family had pledged $1 million to the National Jewish hospital.

With Greenspun it depends on whose ox is being gored.
