Hey, Sub

Lots about what some staff are calling the "minority purge" in LA Observed. Start with the link in my Post #19 above. I did that post with links, because I figured FReepers would not let me get away with making bald assertions... check my links.

Some of the people writing to or for LA Observed are pretty thoughtful. One makes the excellent point that you don't need to be a member of a minority to be sensitive to them, but he also finds that lacking in the Times now. I don't even care about the LA Times but I still find myself reading their coverage when I should be working!

Anyway, there are some lists there of layoff victims and of minority journos who've jumped or been pushed under the present regime.

d.o.l.

Being what they are, I thought their wallpapers were already painted red -- and decorated with a hammer-and-sicle motif.
