[Leica] No Photo Editors

[Doug Herr]

Why does it have to be "worse" to be disturbing?  Do we have to accept this as normal?

>> "Three of the newspaper's reporters were ordered to spend two weeks monitoring Clark County judges, particularly District Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez. They were to observe “whether [the judges are] prepared or not, if they favor one lawyer over another, whether they're over- or under-worked — even whether they show up for work on time, or not,” the newspaper reported....  Gonzalez had clashed with Adelson when he took the witness stand in a wrongful-termination suit. When Adelson refused to answer a question, Gonzalez admonished him: “Sir, you don't get to argue with me. You understand that?” the Review-Journal reported."
>>
>> "Adelson has sued reporters personally, including one well-known case against Review-Journal columnist John L. Smith, who was driven into bankruptcy while fighting a libel lawsuit from Adelson that was eventually dismissed."
