After reading the Los Angeles Times over the past few days, I understand why the once-respected newspaper will most likely go out of business. At least, its print edition will.
The paper is incredibly out of touch with working, non-ideological people who simply want a decent life for themselves and their families.
Example. In both LA and San Francisco, homeless drug addicts are battering law-abiding citizens. Everyone knows this. We can see it with our own eyes. The crime statistics are staggering. And for every crime, victims suffer.
Yet, the LA Times is not outraged by the addicted criminal or the outrageous District Attorneys who refuse to prosecute them. No, the newspaper wants to make it easier to procure and use narcotics without any legal restraints.
This, of course, is madness and insulting to the good people being victimized by the irresponsible behavior of the addicted criminals.
Let me be even more blunt. No American has the right to publicly intoxicate him or herself and practice criminality in the process. Do we all understand the public safety threat here?
Apparently, the uber-liberal Los Angeles Times does not.
We'll continue our reporting on this tonight on the No Spin News.
Dream on. America no longer has that foundation to fall back on.
Bill O is just as out of touch as any other member of the Ministry of Propaganda.
Last and final time I heard BOR he was on with Bernie and Sid absolutely screeching about how stupid people are for not getting the vax. Bernie and Sid lapdog nodding in agreement.
O’Reilly is just finding that out now?
And Bill, it’s just not the LA Slimes. 99% of all newspapers are like that.
Same situation in Phoenix with the Arizona Republic (owned by Gannett whose is owned by a Japanese conglomerate) Zero news on the border surge, thinks every person who wants to investigate the 2020 vote is a right-wing nut, and daily articles on climate change and the inconveniencing of illegals.
Start carrying a bat.
How can the LA Slimes, SF Gay Rhonicle, Sac Bee, and any fish wrap in California, Oregon and Washington keep their doors open and still be printing their liberal B$?
Their beloved illegals can’t read, nor can their druggie dropouts.
Conservatives don’t buy these lying/pos fish wraps.
One of our married sons and his wife live in an up scale East Bay community on a cul de sac. Not a single household (20 homes in the cul de sac) has subscribed to the Gay Rhonicle or any east bay fish wrap for close to 2 decades. In fact no daily fish wrap is published let alone delivered to their community.
A four page weekly throwaway semi local news is filled with grocery and other weekly ads and is mailed to local homes.
Our DIL keeps one or two ads and throws this pos into the blue recycle container. She may scan the semi front page.
When i was a kid, the LAT seemed to be a fairly even handed rag, but then my political sense was nil.
They did sponsor some great road racing out at thr Riverside racetrack. All I cared about back then.
Newspapers represent the interest of ‘the elites’. And since there aren’t that many ‘elites’ in any given city - it means newspapers are dying.
They delude themselves by thinking the competition is ‘the internet’ but it’s not.
They delude themselves by thinking the most important measure of a paper’s worth is the number of ‘prizes’ they’ve won. A Pulitzer here and one there and soon you have a wall of Pulitzers, So what?
The only prize that matters is the respect and trust of your city’s readers - all colors - ALL political parties. And advertisers who need good coverage to keep their businesses afloat. My local paper - once one of the most popular in the State years ago now holds ‘give a thons’ where they ask people to donate money to them.
The Mexicans, who are about to take over LA, don’t read “woke.”
