ROB’S RANT: KTNV CHANNEL 13 EXPOSED THIER LIBERAL BIAS HIRING ALLEGED ALCOHOLIC JON RALSTON

KTNV CHANNEL 13 EXPOSED THEIR LIBERAL BIAS HIRING ALLEGED ALCOHOLIC JON RALSTON

OPINION

August 31, 2016

In May of this year KTNV Channel 13 News fired anchor Rikki Cheese after she was arrested for a DUI.  So when KTNV Channel 13 News hired 6 time failed TV host Jon Ralston last month (and in my opinion an Alcoholic), with at least 1 DUI and possibility up to 3 DUI’s (according to law enforcement sources) after he was fired from his bankrupt TV show on PBS, they just confirmed every suspicion conservatives had about local news. Channel 13 is run by a bunch of insiders who really don’t care about the appearance of fairness and balance. To hire someone who couldn’t draw an audience running naked down Las Vegas Blvd covered with bees is bad enough. No one in town defends Jon Ralston as a balanced reporter. He is an unabashed liberal creature of the Nevada news swamp. But what’s worse is that KTNV Channel 13 brings Ralston out daily to interview him about the election as some sort of creditable source of wisdom. If Channel 13 wanted an ounce of credibility, they would have a conservative on air with Ralston providing balance.

If KTNV wants to hire a liberal like Ralston that’s their right. But don’t pretend to be a source of unbiased news that the people of Las Vegas should take seriously. By comparison, NEWSMAXTV LAS VEGAS has said from the beginning, we are not fair and we are not balanced. We have a point of view and our audience is told that upfront. We produce local news stories from a conservative/libertarian point of view.

And now we know KTNV Channel 13 produces news from a liberal point of view.
