Sour Grapes at the Herald Leader

The Lexington Herald Leader is so committed to advancing only one side of the issue of Kentucky American Water vs. the local government that wishes to condemn it to take the profits that I can cite two examples of how this bias has leaked out into the news department.

One, go to this address --  http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/local/13128324.htm

Carefully read the last two paragraphs. If you need to, read the other blog I have in this category concerning the Kentucky Supreme Court's decision. Does that sound like objective reporting? Or does that sound like a writer with a bad attitude?

Two,  http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/local/  is the main page for local news via the newspaper's online website. If you scroll towards the bottom of the page, there is a section titled "Water Dispute Story Archive" As of this post, there are a lot of stories that lead up to the Kentucky Supreme Court decision about the constitutionality of the referendum, but there is no story about the resolution of this portion of the dispute. Why? The story is certainly worthy of being included, especially since all the stories that led to it have been archived.  Or is it only being excluded because it flies in the face of the opinions expressed by the editorial staff?
