Did the L.A. Times Spike a Pro-Kaus Piece?

Filed under: Dog Trainer — Patterico @ 7:30 am



Mickey Kaus asks whether the L.A. Times spiked an opinion piece by Jonah Goldberg favorable to Mickey:

And he’s sheveled? Jonah Goldberg wrote a very generous article (except for the “balding, often disheveled” part). … When he interviewed me, though, it seemed pretty clear he was writing it for the L.A. Times. I wonder what happened? …

Me too. I may send out some inquiring e-mails later today.

  1. As a practical matter, the LAT did Kaus a favor. The last thing he needs in a Democratic Primary is a favorable writeup by a conservative journalist, especially one whose mother is a high profile liberal boogyman.

  2. Patterico: what happened?
    LA Times: hey look a shiny penny!

  3. Here’s the link to the John & Ken MP3 podcast in which they do a dramatic reading of Hector Tobar’s weepy column. The MP3 download is 8 megabytes. The part about Tobar begins at 18:55.

  4. Goldberg strikes me as the type of guy who would tell you if he originally submitted his piece to the Dog Trainer. Unless of course his contract with the LAT somehow precludes him from disclosing which pieces of his were rejected. He might give you some broad clues in that case.
