Amen, John...the LA Times was NOT a newspaper in the weeks prior to the California election..they were an advocacy group....the media will run "campaign" ads in "news" formats

True, but it backfired, big time. Look at the backlash they received, and the margin of victory for Arnold. It would make other media outlets think twice before engaging in this disgraceful behavior.

Arnold could still file a response. Now the media can give a one sided picture of its favored candidates AND issues. Just like in the state-controlled media of so many countries we criticize here for abridging freedom of speech. America now seems to have decided in its inferior stupidity too much freedom of speech is too much of a good thing.
