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.

One Response to “Weekend Posts”

  1. 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.
