This, courtesy of the owner of the LA Times, is the worst “tech solution for journalism” idea since the CueCat.

This is bull. Yes there can be a difference of opinion as to economic policies. But as to economic or historic outcomes; there is only the truth. .meanwhile, any sign of the Times becoming a right wing rag, , my subscripion hangs in the balance.

Soon responded in last Sunday's edition as to his plans: He wishes to exceed subscription in So Cal to exceed the New York Times. Should he wish to do that , he need mimic the journalistic standards of the NYT. Such as they are. I ask before I cancel. What is important; how to track Soon's record of Sanewashing the Trump. That essentially might not mean checking out the honesty of the LA Time's reporting , but what stories the LA Times omits. That takes a lot of monitoring upon the part of we its readers.
