Near as I can tell the LVRJ hasn't made any direct comment on it yet. They weren't on the FR "do not post" list because they hadn't asked to be. These are attorneys making a claim on their behalf, but I'm wondering if it's actually in their interest.

Just doing a little searching online it is pretty clear that that the LVRJ is fully backing this Righthaven company consisting of the equivalent of ambulance chasing lawyers. And, it looks to me that the LVRJ is in it for the money to be gained by filing the lawsuits. If it were so concerned that its articles were being posted or linked, it should have included the editorial “Enough is enough, Harry” in Righthaven's lawsuit. In this editorial Frederick Sherman, the editor weighed in on Harry Reid's snarky comment to an RJ employee last year, telling him, “I hope you go out of business." The article received 5280 comments on its website by Nevadans and people throughout the country after Free Republic and other sites picked up the story.
