Sure. The L.A. Clymes really sucks.
Seriously, good article. Hugh Hewitt would like it, hence the flag...
Murray was an amazing writer. There's no question about that. But as long as I can remember the Times has been such a leftist rag that I couldn't in good concience purchase it, or support the Times organization in any manner.
Their inclusion of the vitriolic Conrad editorial cartoons alone were reason enough for me to refuse delivery. Conrad used to revel in using Christian icons to slander President Reagan. He was infuriated that Reagan fought communism in South America. His vile leftest ideology was rivaled only by Robert Sheerer's amazingly vacant editorials.
If there was a view opposed to what was best for the United States, the Los Angeles Times presented it, no championed it. Being gracious the front page articles are 25% fact and 75% editorial.
I've called their editorial staff a number of times. They were cordial, but when it came to recognizing their leftist vent, they were completely oblivious to the slant of their content. I say this because I had discussions with them. After presenting my case they would actually agree that they could see how I could view their presentations as leftist in the extreme. Still, the same tripe would be printed day after day.
The LA Times could benefit from a Freeper campaign to wake people up to it's gross content. If we weren't involved in a suit at the present time, I'd push this.
The Times has support illegal immigration in every way that it could. It prints articles listing the plight of the poor immigrant focusing on the illegals. And as the populace in the LA area has morphed to resemple that of Tijuana, the LA Times positioned itself to function under the new non-English speaking populace by purchasing and operating the largest Spanish Newspaper on the coast, La Opinion.
If you are looking for a subversive turncoat publication supportive of marxist ideology and anything counter the US's best interests, look no further than the LA Times. Or as many of us refer to it, Pravda on the Pacific.
The free market is only now just beginning to deal this outfit their just desserts; & I've a bottle of champaign held in reserve for the soon to come day they'll annouce they are no more.
Although, it being the LATimes?
They won't, no, cannot come right out & say that in such honest, frank terms.
The truth of their disposition will nonetheless be clearly evidenced by their absence; and, quite possibly a measurable, noticably improved air quality in the 'Valley.
Clock's running LATs...tick-tick-tick...
The mainstream media today is not journalism, it is not reporting, it is not fact-finding and relaying, it is an instrument of advocacy for the leftist viewpoint. College students do not attend journalism school because they have a love for the fact-finding process of true journalism. They want to work in media because they want to "make the world a better place." This fits hand in glove with the leftist ideology which they then spend their lives propogating in both overt and subtle ways, while proudly waving the banner of "objectivity" in the face of anyone who complains.
I consider the mainstream media to be one of the great pillars that holds up secular liberalism in America today.
Our side should use the media when they can be used for our purposes, and oppose them if we must. Above all we should never seek to appease them by moderating our stands, and never expect them to love us. They never will. They will despise us as the enemies of who they are and what they stand for. And they will filter their "objective" news appropriately. That is just the way it is.
Many people celebrated small victories Tuesday after they awoke to find the Taliban gone and thousands of Northern Alliance troops and police streaming into the capital. It is too early to know whether Kabul's latest liberators will bring more suffering, but the many residents who saw the Taliban as an occupier had good reason to celebrate.
from an article called Taliban Torturers on the Run
Of course in an ostensibly news article about people celebrating the Times has to include a line that getting rid of the Taliban will make things worse. And, of course, that means the US effort would be to blame.
Robert Scheer? (with a "c"?)
Just like "CRAP" with a "C".
Cant fool me, a former publik skule skool student. Krap is spelt with a "K" :-)
