Times writers are a continual annoyance. Also today in the Times is a full-page hit piece on John Bolton that opens with "When John R. Bolton charged into the State Department in 2001 . . ." Not 'joined' or 'entered' but 'charged'. Like a bull, I presume. You see this kind of stuff all the time. These subtle word choices by L.A. Times writers are a continual annoyance.

But when it happened a second time - then it was clear that this editing of a Reuters wire was deliberate on the part of the LA times to hide this information from its readers. But it simply made no sense - even for the LA Times, until I realized the only possible explanation. The LA Times is now in the business of not only covering up its own lies and errors - but it now also covers up the lies of other reporters at other news agencies. The fact that a reporter would so blantly lie about what happened at that checkpoint is a truth that the LA Times simply can not handle. I will later post a round-up of the LA Times' soon to be infamous week of errors and deception.
