  Not Your Grandma's LA Times

  Just thinking.
  
  For my money, and compressed time schedule, I find a limited number of sources for news that's affordable. I mean, just the facts. When the facts are selected and crafted to make a news story fit a template someone wants me to follow, I simply don't have the time to wonder why they are stating what they are stating in the way that they are stating those selected and parsed ?facts?. I want to read/hear/see what you want to tell me AND why you want to tell me, up front and honestly. I'll decide if you're wasting my time... and I won't be back if you are.
  
  You've pointed to 2 possible directions for the LA Times to head for value; tabloid or comedy. All too often they have practiced both under the guise of serious news reporting. I don't think this has been entirely lost on Sam Zell.

  Far as I'm concerned my job is to gather the news about the news biz and let y'all decide what it means...

  Thanks, David.
  
  Long as that remains so, I'll be back. It has and I am."

  I was hopeful that the LA Times was getting better, based on their output the year before that. It seems this was not the case.

  They gotta do what they gotta do to get readership, which is all the advertisers care about.
