“Oddly I believe the LVRJ is considered a conservative paper.”
In Vegas, there are only two papers, (besides Spanish, unless it only very recently changed), and they are, IIRC, owned by the same man/group (The Sun even used to come in the LVRJ on some days).
As DJ MacWoW pointed out, the Review Journal, is considered only slightly better than the Sun. But neither are anything like unto conservative.
A Nevadan said on a Costco shooting thread the same thing you just said. Are there any conservative newspapers anywhere? In any city?
