DOG PILE---ON THE LA TIMES, AT LAST This left wing rag of a paper won't change but maybe the "full court press" or the "flood the zone" rotweiler attack by some major BLOGGERS might cause a mild reaction downtown, though I doubt it. Sullivan, Reynolds, Hewitt, and others are all over them now. HERE for an overly long FISKING of a major liar, Robert Scheer. Hewitt is shorter if you don't live in LA. I live in LA. I stopped reading that rag years ago and now refer only to the Sports Section once in a while. This is a paper that referred to the Battle of Midway, the battle that turned WWII in our favor at huge loss of American life, as "the infamous Battle of Midway. Twice. Hewitt spells out another false story this morning.

But in an example of how corrupt the entire paper can become because of "top down" editorial positions all you have to do is check the LAT sports section, once the best in the West. They became total whores for women's soccer, so much so that the entire section was devoted to it. Once the readers DID rebel they have no mention whatsoever of that stupid sport. They jump on every left wing politically correct issue they can, but never do they trash a black athlete unless they can find somebody white to trash too. God help any athlete who says something right wing. The Movie section is honestly a propaganda section for the Left Wing of the Democratic Party.

This is the way they WANT things. It's no accident.

This paper long ago did what the New York Times has done: disposed of the blue collar readership of their entire distribution area in favor of those wealthy enough to shop in the high end malls, $10 and up movie houses, trendy restaurants, expensive foreign trips and so on. This readership is Left Wing in LA and no doubt loves Scheer. And besides, just like the New York Times the circulation is under a million in a distribution area that tops eight million. Three percent of the population reads it; no men under 45, some women, and a ton of older people.

But it's nice to see the rotweilers move.
