New Chief at LA Times
Along with a new Mayor, Los Angeles has a new newspaper editor. John Carroll, who has helmed the Times for the last five years is retiring, and turning the post over to Managing Editor Dean Baquet.As if anyone really gives a shit what the LA Times does. I used it a few times when wrapping fish or packing fine china, but that's about it.
Wake me up when the Herald-Examiner returns. Now that was a paper!

I am a producer at a local news station. Love your blog and would love to talk to you. alas I cannot find an email address. please post some kind of contact info for us media people :)
The main reason for the human resources department at the LA Times is to provide material for Kevin Roderick to write about.

Who cares about L.A.TIMES, it has been a BIASED paper all along.
Unless the new chief is unbiased and ethical, it will not change one bit.
Doughfaced Roderick is already bagging on Baquet.
It is about fucking time that bigoted Carroll left LA and went to work for Al Jazeera.
It is Carroll's policy of "moral equivalency" that has cost the Times thousands of subscribers who are tired of suicide/homicide murderers being called "freedom fighters" and "insurgents".
The are terrorists, they are killers of innocent women, children and puppy dogs, and they are murderers. They are not freedom fighters.
Carroll is also responsible for hiring the insipid and absentee Michael Kinsley, the limp dick Editor of the Editorial Pages, who lives more in Seattle than he does in L.A.
Does anyone wonder why the LA Times is a fish wrapper instead of a great city newspaper?
It also never supports local sports teams, especially USC, even when they are back to back National Champions. Wanna guess where Sports Editor Bill Dwyre went to school?
If you guessed South Bend, Indiana, you are right.
The Daily News is the only semi-readable newspaper in Los Angeles, and it ain't too good.

Thanks for reminding us of the old and missed Her-Ex. I kept that last front page -- along with my refund check with its classy and poignant thanks and farewell -- pinned up on my bulletin board for years.
Just in the last few weeks the Times has shown us repeatedly their disdain for this city, by downgrading what is going on here or missing it altogether. I hope today's lead editorial pushing AV to take over LAUSD is a sign of change -- that they're not writing for the world or the East Coast or prizes or to pretend to be the NYT or to get hired by the NYT, THEY WRITE FOR LA!! A GREAT GLOBAL CITY AND A GREAT STORY. A STORY THE WORLD IS INTERESTED IN TOO! At least the Daily News gets that -- and sometimes they get it pretty good.
WHO IS SUPPORTING THIS RACIST NUNEZ FOR HIS NEXT ELECTION...ROMP, ROMP, SHABANG....

Remember when everybody in the movie theater used to hiss when the LAT promos first came out years ago? Their mind-control captive audience self-promo campaign -- a lot like the brainwashing portrayed in Clockwork Orange -- finally worked. Nobody hisses anymore. Nobody really cares. There are good people that work there and that used to work there, but there's still something wrong with that paper. Maybe its controlled by space aliens or something.
FABIAN NUNEZ has a best friend in Capitol Hill, his name is DON PERATA
PERATA is another HYPOCRITE
"In 1999, state senator Don Perata authored SB 23, a draconian gun ban. But when Don Perata himself felt the need for personal protection, what did he do? He obtained a permit to carry a concealed firearm!"
la times sucks. i pay the fee at the newspaper stand and take all of the papers in the rack. i then use the lousy paper at my pet shop to line the bird cages!!!
tom cat:)
I'm a loyal Democrat who despises the LAT and loves the Daily News.
The Times doesn't cover enough of the Valley and we are part of L.A. still.
There is too much world news for me. I think our local politics keep us all hopping. I just need a snippet of what is going on in the nation and world. I need a lot of information about City Hall and local news.
Besides who can like a paper that is more than 50% advertisement? I pull out the California section and read it ONLY after the Daily News is finished.
