Look at the article I found in the LA Times "A" section. Section "A" is supposed to have no opinion pieces. If it has an analysis article, the analyst is supposed to be balanced and intelligent.
But today as right wing Sam Zell's take-over comes closer, it seems the LA Times is cozying up by printing a wild diatribe by two highly politicized writers. Since the paper has also printed every planted story on a democrat they can get from the GOP, the paper is beginning to smell even before I put it down for the kittens to use.
See report "Will Chavez pull the trigger?"
They make the man sound like he's going to start banging his shoe on the table, or develop nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles and "bury us".
Really, I haven't read anything so ridiculous (outside a Charles Krauthammer or Jonah Goldberg column) since the days when Nikita Khrushchev ran the USSR.
