Jack Dunphy Inside the Tent
I just got off the phone with L.A. Times Sunday Opinion Editor Bob Sipchen. We had a wide-ranging and very interesting on-the-record conversation about the paper’s admirable “Outside the Tent” feature. I expect to post the results of that interview within the next few days.
In the meantime, Sipchen authorized me to say that tomorrow’s “Outside the Tent” feature will be by LAPD officer and National Review Online contributor Jack Dunphy. Dunphy strikes me as a courageous pick, and someone who will not pull any punches. The selection of Dunphy, along with the previous selection of critics like Hugh Hewitt and Mickey Kaus, confirms my opinion that this feature is for real.
Keep an eye out for my post about my interview of Sipchen. We touched on several interesting topics, and I think you’ll find it very insightful and illuminating.
How come you, XRLQ, and Belmont Club all did a very similar format switch right about the same time? I question the timing…
See-Dubya (85b967) — 2/19/2005 @ 9:06 pmCan’t wait to see the interview with Bob Sipchen. In the meantime, don’t miss David Shaw’s piece in today’s LATimes lamenting Eason Jordan’s departure. Shaw’s lack of information is embarrassing, even for the Times.
