Monday News Roundup

• The media find their voice again. Today, the managing editor of the Tahoe Daily Tribune writes in his editorial on the New York Times vs Bush&Co "They want to shut the media down, through intimidation." Read it all, it's good! (Link)
• There is yet another letter critical of the negative attacks. This time it's by a voter who intended to vote for Republican Sharron Angle. That is, until he learned that the attack ads on Dean Heller and Dawn Gibbons were run by Angle's buddies at the Club for Growth. Now he intends " to vote for ABA -- Anyone but Angle". Fun, fun, fun.

• An editorial in the Sun on the aim of Democrats to tie a raise for members of Congress with a raise of the minimum wage. Will be interesting to see how the Republicans are getting outta this one. They've been giving themselves raises $31,600 since 1997. Fiscally conservative? My ass. (Link)
