"Placing a fake news article on A-1 makes a mockery of our integrity and our journalistic standards."
The funniest line of the year.

There was probably more truth and reality in the ad than the normal front page bs in the LA Slimes.

The ad was paid for.
What exactly is the objection to it?
It’s placement on the page? Big deal.

And to think Air-America and Barack Obama never had to pay for their advertisements on the front page.

All the news coming from the msm, worldwide, is fake.
Why they bother to have journalists on the payroll is beyond me.

How is this different from Soros/DNC-directed and paid-for “stories” on the front pages of most major dailies on any given day? They’re “outraged” because they were caught.

"Placing a fake news article on A-1 makes a mockery of our integrity and our journalistic standards." This statement might have some validity if the LA Times actually had any integrity and journalistic standards.

"Placing a fake news article on A-1 makes a mockery of our integrity and our journalistic standards. Uhhh.... You guy's have already done that to yourselves in spades.
Truth is, you haven't had ANY integrity OR journalistic standards for decades.
You cashed it all in with your endless, partisan support for liberal democrats.

Amazing, how somethings don’t seem to change over the centuries.

They must be hurting for money. Good.

The ad was paid for. What exactly is the objection to it? Try posting a thread about your two-year-old's cute picture on FR's News & Activism forum and you'll find out.

I don’t see the big deal. Regularly, we see national and local newscasts put up “news stories” that are essentially commercials for tv jobs, local politicians, sports teams, businesses or web sites.
Of course also they generally, if they have a political or culture “bent” to them, they’ll be liberal.
Let the L.A. Slimes just do what all “news” organizations seem to do nowadays. Almost without exception they are hacks.

There was probably more truth and reality in the ad than the normal front page bs in the LA Slimes. Dave, that's most likely an accurate observation. But the problem is how could someone tell the difference?

The fake ad was probably more accurate than the usual stories they publish.

Only the editorial board gets to write fake news.
