In this posting on the SET Political Review, Philip R. Klein blathers on about purported bias in the Beaumont Enterprise:

Now your gripe with us is that we call them left wing. We call them one sided. We call them run by an editorial board and editors that simply are so left wing they have little or no common sense. Well? We are right. And the editors are driving the paper into the ground with mismanagement.

As evidence, Klein posits this wingnut claim (emphasis, use of upper case, and underscores are Philip's):

A BLACK MALE, IN HIS 20'S, WEARING DARK PANTS, BLUE JACKET WITH WHITE PINSTRIPE, DARK SHOES AND A BLUE CAP OBAMA HAT.

So everyone - and we mean everyone is putting this description out ...... except .........the Beaumont Enterprise? DO WHAT?

Well - let's use their words and give you the link to the story :

Police say they are searching for a black man,  his age said to be from 20s to 30s, wearing dark pants, possbily   [sic] Dickies' brand, a blue, runner's type jacket with white pinstripes, dark shoes and a blue cap.

Here's the link to the story from the Beaumont Enterprise.

Klein blatantly lied when he claimed, "Everyone -  and [sic] we mean everyone is putting this description out....... [sic] except ....... [sic] the Beaumont Enterprise?"

Here's the description from Klein's favorite TV station, KBTV Channel 4:

The attacker is still on the loose.

He's a black man, 5'8".

He was last seen wearing dark colored shoes, a cap, and dark colored Dickie jeans.

He was wearing a runner-style jacket with a stripe down the arm length.

Klein further claims:

So we thought about it. And we asked some of our close friends in the media who we duly respect and are friendly with us (not crappy like some that think their crap does not stink). We all came to these conclusions :

1) Someone (note there is NO AUTHOR to the piece) who got the story and press release simply did not read it correctly.

2) Someone read it and did not think it was important.

3) Someone read it and thought it was too inflammatory to the black community.

4) Someone edited it out of the piece because of their political beliefs in Obama.

So which of these numbered items describes KBTV Channel Four, also known as Klein TV? 

Fortunately, KFDM Channel 6 released this description (emphasis is mine):

Detectives describe the robber as a black man with a dark complexion, 20-30 years old, about 5'8" and 170 pounds, wearing a dark colored shirt, dark colored pants and a blue Obama cap.

No word from Philip on that one. Klein's conclusion:

In the end kids - what you have left is this - another bad pimple on face of a dying newspaper. And it is sad. But we bring it to your attention because it is an example of what we all can show you of the one-sided journalism. It is sad to see the advocate for the people turn into the advocate for a party or person.

My conclusion: Philip Klein is a liar with an agenda. Whether by ignorance or deceitful intent, every posting by PRK is an exercise in one-sided journalism.

If Klein would truly like to "raise the standards to political discussion [sic]" in Southeast Texas, my advice to Philip is to cease publishing the Southeast Texas Political Review immediately.
