The Los Angeles Times' top editor is scrambling to placate journalists of color after years of often-unfulfilled promises by the paper to make grand progress in the diversity of the newsroom's ranks.
Some journalists have used terms such as "internal uprising" to describe their anger over racial inequity at the paper. Scores have participated in intense internal debates over the LA Times' coverage of recent protests and hiring practices, to the point that senior editors have weighed in, promising to listen and learn.
"I would say in the case of black journalists, that we do not have enough journalists in positions where they are able to help us tell stories that really need to be told," LA Times Executive Editor Norman Pearlstine told NPR. "I've asked myself in hindsight what got us to where we are now."

So as the bow of the SS LA Times sinks below the waterline we can be pleased that the newsroom is sufficiently “diverse”.

Future article by the LA Times...
“That cracka Trump holded a rally today and I be interviewing crackas as they enter that big a$$ stadium. My first question..’you was a Trump supporter last time, cracka?’”

"... where they are able to help us tell stories that really need to be told ... They should be reporting the news, not "tell stories" that somebody with a head full of anger and nonsense thinks "need to be told."

See my tagline—the editors need to do what needs to be done.

Rancor erupts at the LATimes?
Hell, I’m disappointed, I want to hear about hair-pulling, bitch slapping, biting and generally paint the walls red with blood, hair and teeth.

So they expect white ppl to keep subscribing to a paper that pillories them every day? Good luck with that. Try to exist with a subscriber base mainly made up of POC. 🤣

The jury is still out on that and rumors have it that whites are a long ways from wanting to engage.
The debasement, self flagellation and ass kissing apparently will continue indefinitely.

Who didn’t see that coming?
Always fun to see the left devour each other. Popcorn time.

The L.A. Times seems to be reaping the whirlwind. Somehow, it makes me a little bit happy.
