Angle haters: No proof, no reporting

Let's get honest, shall we? A fair chunk of the Nevada media exhibits a remarkable disdain for Sharron Angle. You simply can't thumb through the record of stories, editorials and Twitter notes without coming to that conclusion.

This is not about whether you like Angle's politics or not. This is about how this one figure manages to bring out the worst in the state's media.

Take a look, for example, at the tweets sent yesterday by the media against Angle. It's hard not to look at them and conclude anything other than these folks have something personal against Angle.

One guy even said that no one should report Angle's charges that Sen. Harry Reid stole the 2010 election unless Angle shows proof.

Proof?

That's an interesting standard, which is apparently only reserved for Angle.

Nevada contains all kinds of newsmakers who say things every day without proof. The media covers those guys like a cat laps up milk. But if a newsmaker says something the media doesn't like, well, then no one should report it unless the newsmaker can prove it.

That's an unsustainable standard reserved only for Sharron Angle.
