I dislike the LA Times as much as anyone but I believe in "accuracy in criticism." Kinsley was the Opinion Page Editor in absentia, not the Editor. There's a vast difference. IMO it's quite possible to oversee writing editorials and op-ed columns for a left-wing paper from anywhere because it's all the same dishonest liberal propaganda anyway. But covering Pasadena's local news from India illustrates why that website won't be around very long.
Not at the LAT, there isn't. News IS opinion driven. But, point taken; I should have written AN editor, not THE editor. I must plead the Clinton defense: it depends on the meaning of "the".
