Not a fan: Ramirez cartoons show conservative bias

I was dismayed to read where the Review-Journal has agreed to carry Michael Ramirez cartoons regularly (“Taking his talents, pen to Las Vegas,” Sept. 16 Review-Journal). I became familiar with his work when I read the L.A. Times. In spite of his pronouncement that he is an “equal-opportunity offender,” nothing could be further from the truth. Ramirez touts that “his work won’t show allegiance to any political party,” yet a year into Trump’s presidency Ramirez continued to draw cartoons blaming Barack Obama for perceived injustices. Ramirez is strongly biased toward the Republican party. His cartoons reflect that bias.

Ralenkotter, Las Vegas tourism board accountable to no one

The mythical gender wage gap was debunked so many times in the past 20 years that only the uninformed would believe one still exists. But the Sep. 15 Review-Journal (“Wage wedge”) rehashed the issue.
