To paraphrase Poe, the thousand injuries of the "newspaper" I have borne as best I could.
The stolen stories. The failure to give credit. The purposeful slights, flouting basic courtesy, conventions and ethics.
But this weekend, the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Laura Myers went a step further: She published -- and her "newspaper" let her do it -- a demonstrably false piece of information, so she could give the illusion she did reporting.
Here's what happened:
On Friday evening, after pushing and...

Good morning, everyone. A tie is not just like kissing your sister; it’s also better than a loss....
ood morning, everyone. I know Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin is not a friend of mine, but Paul Ryan is no Sarah Palin. Tonight’s debate will be fascinating, mostly because the president has put himself in a position where he has to rely on Vice President Joe Biden to reverse the momentum Barack Obama gave to Mitt Romney. .And Biden, like your proverbial six-year-old: When he’s good, he’s very, very good; but when he’s bad, he’s—Tonight at 6 PM on the West Coast, dear Flashees. “Ralston Reports” is...
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is up with its second ad using supposedly credible sources to pound Rep. Joe Heck on his infamous "pyramid scheme" comment about Soical Security.
So Oceguera is trying to push women away from Heck with his ads and the national Democrats are going for seniors.
Could it work? Maybe.
GOP pollster Frank Luntz, who often does focus groups during major events for FOX, will bring his show to Las Vegas next week for the presidential debate.
This went out today as a reminder:

Welcome to The Weekly Report, where you find exclusive commentary and analysis. I hope you premium subscribers will let me know what you like and what you don't, what you'd like to see more of and (heaven forfend) less of. I aims to please.
This week:
1. By the Numbers: Delving into the polls
2. My column--How Romney could win Nevada
3. The State of the Races
BY THE NUMBERS--MAKING SENSE (OR NONSENSE) OF THE POLLS
Four polls taken days apart – or concurrently – all found that President...
The third-quarter numbers:
Sen. Dean Heller: $1.9 raised, $1.9 on hand
Rep. Shelley Berkley: $1.65 raised, $925,000 on hand
So Berkley has spent a lot more than Heller to try to keep the race close (mission accomplished) and compete with all of that outside money. It also explains why the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has sent some cavalry.
I wonder if Team Heller wonders whether he should have spent more earlier to try to entomb Berkley. I am pretty sure that the Heller folks will...
Mark Mellman, who nailed Nevada for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in 2010, says Rep. Shelley Berkley is slightly ahead of Sen. Dean Heller.

His memo is linked here.
The existence of the poll was first reported by The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza.
