More barf-tastic fluff from KCRG. This time over Sen Cutyernutzoff's event.

Another fluff piece from KCRG. I don't remember them caring as much about Sen. Harkin's steak fry.

BOONE — The ride was all about revved-up Harleys and triumphs. The roast featured barbecued pork and President Barack Obama.

“We have great weather and a phenomenal turnout,” Sen. Joni Ernst said Saturday as she roared off on her first Roast and Ride fundraiser and rally aboard her 2009 Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

“It was a wonderful ride,” the Iowa National Guard lieutenant colonel said after leading an army of more than 300 motorcycles on a 39-mile trip from a Des Moines Harley-Davidson dealership to the Central Iowa Expo grounds near Boone.

“It was great ride,” added John Flaherty, a longtime associate of Sen. Chuck Grassley, who joined the troop on his Honda bike. “I can’t believe they’re all Republicans,” he said as he surveyed the gathering throng of riders.

The polls taken in iowa showing Walker in the lead after what has happened in Wisconsin make me ill. Values voters are speaking loud and clear they choose GOP "Gold Over People".

My memory kinda sucks, but I really can't recall either event making the front page. But you know, liberal media and all that.
Keep in mind, this paper endorsed Romney for PotUS in 2012. Lee Enterprises and all that.

They make little attempt at being objective. Republican come hell or high water.

...our local fishwrap didn't put the Cutyernutzoff ride on the front page. It was like the last page of the first section.

Yes, the TH is kind of a fishwrap but they have their moments when they pretend to be somewhat balanced.
