Holy cow this is complicated. Ever notice how Democrat strongholds are bastions of crime and corruption?

[ladtx]

The Democrat culture of corruption strikes again.

"Times are bad at the L.A. Times. Competition from new media and “a lingering feeling of bias” continue to plague the paper and drive down circulation."

It must be pretty bad if it's even happening in a liberal bastion like LA. Or, wait a minute, maybe the paper isn't liberal enough...

[highlander_UW]

Now, the once venerable paper faces a scandal of Jayson Blair proportions, one that may topple key players—including a Pulitzer Prize winner—and permanently sully its reputation.

Ummmmm....how does one sully the reputation of Left Wing Liberal, incompetent rag?

[Semper Paratus]

Another datapoint on the down arrow on the chart of the MSM.

[AD from SpringBay]

bump - the dinosaur just realized it was standing in a tar pit?

[Mr. Mojo]

The L.A. Times does have the best sports page and entertainment ("Calendar") sections of any paper in the country, but aside from that it is indeed a worthless rag.

[ncountylee]

Be nice if this gets some legs. Not a good week for the LA Times. Smike.

[meandog]

...should I get out my small violin and play a funeral dirge or just laugh "BWAHAHAHAHA" about the LA Slime's slow demise?

[tubebender]

Marking...

[RoseofTexas]

Move along, nothing to see here....WHY you might ask?! Because the evil liberals KNOW how to cover their tracks! Watch all of them come out with book and movie deals.
SICKENING ISN'T IT!

[TheOracleAtLilac]

Ya left out the daily crossword !

[eureka!]

Marking for later...

Interesting read. It's all new to me...but two points come to mind..

Poole, the cop who resigned after 18 years on the job..did he toss away his pension? That's hard to believe...

Also, Bratton, the curent LAPD commish..has a rep as a straight shooter..since he came in way after all this happened., he has no reason to cover anything up..indeed..it's to his advantage to turn over all the rocks..

[Lurking in Kansas]

Holy cow this is complicated.

Ditto, but very interesting. I guess I'll just wait for the movie.

Something truthful was printed?

>“a lingering feeling of bias”

If the paper had
a lingerie bias then
people would buy it!

[BJClinton]

I'd go for the "Mwahahahaha" personally. But your Bwahahaha would be fine.

*Or, wait a minute, maybe the paper isn't liberal enough..*

You haven't read their letters-to-the-editor lately then. Either the Times only publishes rat letters, ignoring conservative views, or most of the remaining readers are all truly leftists.
