Sorry, I Don't Get The Times..(LA.Times)

Over the past four years, my readership of the Los Angeles Times has declined. First, the stories, news reports were too biased and I didn't even look in the Op/Ed sections. Then, most of the columnists became pundits and left wing biased and painted blurred pictures such as the economy or if you're from the Los Angeles area, the local news here was painted with a slant. For instance, the [illegal] Immigration marches last year and this year. Obvious the paper and the local news were in support of having 12 to 20 million illegals demanding to be made citizens, after breaking the law.

Need more? There was a hate crime beating last year, where the victims were white and perpuatrators were a bunch of black teens. It was reported in another local paper, but it took the times almost a month to even report the story...Need more? A Los Angeles Fire Department member was fed, dog food as a prank and he sued. The times reported it, and made it a racial issue. So my dislike for the paper goes further than the left wing ideology it takes. And now this, a few months ago a sports columnist, wrote that he was becoming a she.

Now after reading this in the times and discussed on every radio talk show station. What does a person do who is not down with the transgender, gay-lesbian lifestyle? Well, they could accept it and continue buying the paper or...just move on. I choose to move on.

It used to be a time, that the only thing good about the times, was the sports section, with columnists like JA Adande, Bill Plashke and TJ Simers. But the coming out of Penner aka Christine Danies changes that. I can't give the times my fifty cents for bad columns, left wing biased reporting and now a sports section with transgenders on it. Nothing against Penner/ Daniels but I'm sorry, this is where we part ways. So..

Sorry I don't get the times.
