Weekend Posts
Plenty of L.A. Times-bashing this weekend. If you’re not a weekend reader of this site, here’s your guide to the posts you missed:
The Times airbrushed an error out of the online version of one of their articles without acknowledging the mistake. (The Readers’ Representative says it’s probably a difference in versions, but acknowledges that if any version was in error, a correction should have issued. They’re looking into it.)
The Times also had some interesting editing of a piece by a radical Islamist explaining why we shouldn’t have been surprised by the London terror bombings. The author thought that the bombings had something to do with young Muslims’ “sassy” opinions — not that you’d know that if you read the piece in The Times.
I also suggested that The Times tell us just a leetle bit more about Stephen Reinhardt when he votes to overturn a death penalty — like the fact that he always does.
Finally, I rapped the paper’s knuckles for printing a letter to the editor containing a false (or at least highly disingenuous) assertion.
Also, the Bear Flag League Conference was this weekend. Much fun was had by all.
In case you missed it on Sunday – This is incredibly funny and very insightful. Not only LAT, but CNN does not get it. Oh dear.

CNN Bullsh*t Coverage of Karl Rove”
Lou Dobbs Tonight Show on July 15, 2005. Here is the partial transcript. Mr. Dobbs continues: ” …Rove testifying that he first learned about Plame from columnist Robert Novak, a CNN contributor. Danna Bash reports.” Immediately after that you can clearly hear a female voice saying “that’s bullshit.” Thereafter Dana Bash begins her report.
CNN – fair and unbiased – before, now and forever.
