I just got a call from Satan. He said they were playing hockey in hell after this ran in the LA Times.

An experimental column in which the Los Angeles Times invites outside critics to rip a Southern California newspaper whose most popular features include a weekly column on celebrity real estate transactions...
WOW!

Another way to correct this habit of the LATimes is to make this column NOT experimental - and put it on the front page, above the fold daily!

They only played for a few seconds before the puck and skate blades froze to the ice and the whole game went to hell..........or however they would phrase that in hell.

Interestingly, the most popular feature of the self-styled newspaper is NOT the news on paper.

Just within the last couple of days I read that someone who called the LA Times to cancel his subscription because of the paper's liberal bias was offered a subscription without the news sections.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is having their editorial staff call former subscribers who cancelled after a pre-election editorial listing 22 reasons to vote for Kerry.
Conservatives are starting to hold news outlets accountable for being rabidly partisan in favor of liberals.

I believe the best medicine is to ignore them. They will not correct themselves let them die on their own.
To: quidnunc
This sounds like it was written by a freeper.
And these aren't mistakes. They are deliberate mis-interpretations by the media in order to make conservatives look bad.
When was the last time they made a "mistake" that made a liberal look bad?

If The Times staff reflected a wider variety of political perspectives, the errors cited above might never have appeared. From the Times viewpoint, they already have a wide variety of viewpoints represented -- Left, Far Left, Marxist, Maoist, Trotskyite, and Moonbat.
Let a Conservative, or even a Humphrey/Lieberman Liberal in the Times newsroom and Robert Scheer's head would explode like a Baghdad road side IED. Can't have that much variety, ya know.
