Newspaper Endorses the Candidate It's Suing Over Copyright

An anonymous reader writes "Remember Righthaven? The copyright troll owned by the owner of the Las Vegas Review-Journal? You may remember, then, that Righthaven had sued Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle for posting LVRJ stories on her site. At the same time, LVRJ has been having its execs talk about how copyright infringement is no different than garden variety theft. So ... doesn't it seem a bit odd that the LVRJ is endorsing the very same candidate that it sued for such 'theft'?"

    Is editorial independence such a foreign concept to you 'mericans ?

    The LVRJ has just de facto said that:
                It opposes abortions even in the case of rape or incest
                The Department of Education is unconstitutional
                The United States should withdraw from the United Nations
                A flat tax should replace the income tax
                A free-market alternative should be established to cut social security

    Not to politicize this discussion but she is a right wing freak.

    Listen, friend, the other candidate could be a moldy pile of monkey feces, and I'd still vote for it over Sharron Angle.

    Vote Monkey Feces! "At least it's not batshit!"
