CoinGate: Another Biased Editorial from Cincinnati Enquirer

Get the whole editorial here, but I'm only going to quote the last paragraph.
Democrats are proposing a list of reforms, many of which they've advocated for years to no avail. They want stricter rules and greater oversight over the state's investments. And they've called for a wholesale review of the state's campaign finance laws, which they say have been "reformed" to help reward contributors. It's time they were taken seriously. Let's stop mixing state business with political donations.
If you read the whole editorial, it makes it sound as if the Republicans are A-OK with this scandal. They aren't. In fact, they've managed to respond to the scandal fairly quickly. Of course, you have to tune into the alternative media and blogs to get that story... We covered the Republican response and actions taken since the scandal was discovered here and here. If we can get this information, why can't the Cincinnati Enquirer? Perhaps an email to the editors will get me an answer...
