Bye Bye, L.A. Times

As disgusted As I've been over the past few years with the L.A. Times and their skewed-to-the-right reporting and editorial policy, I've finally had enough. Last week the Times' Op Ed Publisher Jeff Johnson and Tribune Company CEO Dennis FitzSimons fired Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Robert Sheer because his support of the truth clashed with the paper's support of the Bush-war Administration's outrageous and deadly foreign and domestic policies and actions. Enough is enough. I canceled my subscription this week.

That leaves only the other right-wing papers in the area (Long Beach Press Telegram, Orange Count Register, Daily News) as alternatives, so it looks like I'll be saving a couple of trees for a while at least.
