No more reason to read the L.A. Times' opinion section
Today the LAT announced it was dumping the only two guys worth reading in their opinion section, cartoonist Michael Ramirez, a conservative, and columnist Robert Scheer, a leftist. Ramirez was just good, and it's hard to believe that the paper would fire him.
Although I usually only have agreed with Scheer on his opposition to the unconstitutional, unconservative Iraq war, on which he broke the news that the military had cooked the Jessica Lynch story, he was an interesting read quite often. Even when wrong, he was his own voice. Now, the Times apparently just wants a bland mess of moderate liberals and moderate conservatives.
Giving readers mush is not the way to slow circulation declines.
