This will make it very easy for the angry stockholders (or the FBI) to find the miscreants once they destroy the paper... or the country. Whichever comes first -- I'm hoping "paper."

It’s true that I cancelled the paper over a decision he made to reveal classified counterterror secrets — a decision that was also made, ironically enough, by Bill Keller at the New York Times — Baquet’s new boss.

A good move. This will make it very easy for the angry stockholders (or the FBI) to find the miscreants once they destroy the paper… or the country. Whichever comes first — I’m hoping “paper.”

Losers hire losers, it's the same tired old story. But to be fair, the LA Times is making money, a lot of it. But in a metro area of at least 13 million their circulation has dropped below 800,000.
