Wow another Lib having buyers remorse?
Not necessarily. The LA Times, while their official editorial line is reliably left-of-center, has conservative columnists, invites in conservative guest columnists, and covers news straight enough of the time (way more than the NY Times, or WaPo) that I think they're my favorite MSM print daily. The 'are pigs flying?' reaction from FReepers to solid news in an MSM outlet happens way more often with the LA Times than any other paper: They seem to be covering Fast and Furious fairly aggressively, and back in the day, they and AFP were the two main news outlets to actively debunk NATO claims of 'genocide' in the Balkans as they were being made. I think someone fairly high up in their newsroom remembers what 'objective' actually means and holds to the elsewhere long-lost ideal of objective journalism, and that ideal comes across in their editorial pages by having a lot more right-of-center columns for balance than token (tame) conservative the East Coast dailies allow.
