Las Vegas resident Paul Speirs wrote this letter to the editor of the Review-Journal on Jan. 15. He's never been contacted by the paper and his letter has never run.

"The Review-Journal has for months openly dedicated itself to defeating Sen. Harry Reid. The RJ’s transparent, determined efforts to exhaust its ink and paper supplies in its attempt to oust Reid allow its readers to view every news story about the senator in the full light of bias. Fine. The tradition of newspapers taking a hard political stance is as old as U.S. newspapers themselves. So let the RJ come full circle and endorse a Republican challenger now, as it ultimately will. Let the RJ give its readers the benefit of full light of day, so that we can see every story on this race for what it is. Let the RJ prove that its constant and worthy demands for “sunshine” in governmental affairs applies to its own pages. To do otherwise would be hypocritical and reduce the paper’s coverage of this race to little more than GOP newsletter blurbs."

Wow, Paul. We couldn't have said it better.

Too bad they didn't print it. There's a bit of a pattern. Whenever you call the RJ hypocritical or accuse it of racism or bias or factual inaccuracies, you're swimming upstream.

Bravo Mr. Speirs. Write whenever you want. With luck, they're print one. If not, we'll keep printing them here.
