The Baltimore Sun - Politically Fair and Balanced?

In a recent MD election writeup in a column entitled "Putting their Nazi past behind them", the Baltimore Sun Newspaper chose to focus on Gubernatorial candidate Robert Ehrlich's campaign staff, with reporters referring to a staffer's "overcoming of the candidate's Nazi past" and having been fired from a former Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate, Kathleen Kennedy-Townsend's election campaign for characterizing the Ehrlich campaign as such. Robert Ehrlich never had a "Nazi campaign past", THAT's a Nazi-like meme his former gubernatorial opponent, Kathleen Kennedy-Townsend had concocted two gubernatorial election cycles ago. Unlike his opponents, Ehrlich has always run a clean campaign. And given Martin O'Malley's recent dirty campaign ads falsely charaterizinging the former governor as a BP owned Big-Oil lobbyist, this deliberate mislabelling and attempt to attack his current campaign is particularly un-called for.

So are the Sun's reporters offering objective information and unbiased reporting, or are they attempting to editorialize and unfairly taint by association the former Governor's previous term and re-cast it as something shameful so as to help re-elect a Democrat? Now had the headline been written in the "singular" vice "plural" tense (ie- Staffer putting his over-the-top rhetoric behind him), one could argue that the former governor was not being "Nazi-fied" in the Sun column, but I'll let the reader divine the reporter's "intentions" for himself. In the meantime...

Shame on you, Laura Vozzella of The Baltimore Sun. Your progressive roots are showing AGAIN. It was dirty politics the first time around, and now that the fall-guy for the Democrats has reconciled with and is working for Ehrlich, you try and twice-taint Ehrlich with former DNC dirty tricks. This is the reason why nobody pays to read your newspaper anymore. It's just one long and uninterrupted ad for the DNC.

*Shakes head*

btw - MD recently passed an emergency law requiring candidates to "label" social media websites because dirty tricksters were trying to hijack and propagandize voters. Not possible you say? Better think again. I think that those who use such tactics should be forced to pay a political price. Help us make them pay it this November. And that goes DOUBLE for so-called Main Stream Media outlets like The Baltimore Sun who pretend to offer "mainstream" and therefore relatively objective news, but give us the most biased forms of political propaganda instead.
