I read the article in The New Yorker magazine(referenced in this thread) about the Chicago group taking over the LA Times. It was very detailed and quite revealing. The article was written by Ken Auletta and is entitled, "Fault Line: Can the Los Angeles Times survive its owners?" The issue is Oct. 10, 2005

My husband and I go to Pasadena 6 or more times each year. We used to pick up an LA Times on Sunday and read it over breakfast. In future visits, I refuse to buy that smut any more! During Ahhnuld's Not So Special Election, they endorsed ALL OF HIS PROPS AND 78, saying NO to 79 and 80 (which, as you know, were the "Left's" props). I wrote them several stinging letters and expressed my shock, then anger, then refusal to purchase their paper. Sounds to me like they are indeed turning into The Orange County Times. It's thoroughly disgusting!

The good news is, the LA Weekly is very progressive. A measure of that was their endorsements for the Nov 8th Election: NO on the first six and YES on the last two. Their articles are satisfyingly liberal as well. This paper has replaced that crappy LA Times.
