he was canceling publication of the section to avoid any appearance of a conflict.

This is one of the DNC's house organs. Since when are they worried about "conflicts"?

"But I will not be lectured on ethics by some ostensibly objective news reporters and editors who lobby for editorials to be written on certain subjects or who have suggested that our editorial page coordinate more closely with the newsroom's agenda ..."

Imagine that... Who wudda thunk that the LA Times newsroom would have an agenda... They've been telling us all along that they just report the news (heh heh)... I'm so shocked that I'm beside myself...

I don't really need a sarcasm disclaimer, do I?

Excellent question. I'd guess only when the DNC instructs them to worry.

ROFL! No, a disclaimer isn't necessary. You were as clear as a bell. :-)

Well! I am shocked, SHOCKED, that a Democrat newspaper like the LA Times would coordinate its editorials with "the newsroom's agenda".

Rats - flap Pubs - scandal. Rats have a first class war machine. Search and destroy dept. operates like a Marine tactical force compared to the feckless rinos. They have had almost 8 years to perfect their squad , unimpeded by the the ladies in th WH .

He also delivered a blistering rebuke to his critics in the newsroom and suggested that some of the paper's reporters and editors were guilty of their own ethical lapses.

Does this mean that a couple of reporters actually voted for at least one Republican?
