This rebel is going to yell ... a lot When I look at college newspapers — including my own — I sometimes wonder how anyone lands a job in the industry. To put it bluntly, most university rags are filled with liberal nonsense and opinions from 18-year-old kids who don’t have a clue. If MTV tells them it’s wrong, it’s wrong. In a world where everyone is looking around the corner for the next thing to become offended by, the University of Las Vegas-Nevada didn’t have to look very far. They, themselves are offensive, according to them. Seriously. UNLV’s student newspaper Cody Tucker — The Rebel Yell — is appar- ently racist, inappropriate and High Plains Musing

Just like the rest of the population, there are a few winners and a whole lot of losers, to quote the late, great George Carlin. When the newspaper should be focused on, ya know, news, they instead turned the mighty pen on themselves.
