L.A. Times “Coverage” of Largest Climate Demonstration in So Cal History

The L.A. bird cage liner devoted half a page above the fold in today’s paper to this:

Oct 25 LA Times 350 Coverage

Always nice to be in the L.A. Times but this coverage is clueless and snarky.  The paper missed the money shot and they do not get the 350 message.  The L.A. Times is dying and they’re taking the climate with them as they keep cutting down trees and paying an army of people to drive highly polluting vehicles to deliver the news a day late and several dollars short.  This wouldn’t be happening if Sam Zell had any idea of what he was doing as owner of the paper.  But he doesn’t and he’ll ride this once great paper straight into the grave as his carbon footprint just keeps growing bigger and bigger.

The best reporters and news staff are gone from the Los Angeles Times now and the only people left are those who cannot get work elsewhere.  Some of them are great writers and good journalists but there isn’t a single editor or person in management worth working for anymore.

RIP L.A. Times.  You didn’t just bury the lead.  You buried yourselves.

Great Photo by Sean Hiller in Daily Breeze

You all know how much I like to read the Daily Breeze on line.  This morning’s Daily Breeze coverage includes this great photo by Breeze staff photographer, Sean Hiller

As part of the International Day of Climate Change on Saturday, participants line up and do the tidal wave for an airplane covering the event near the Manhattan Beach Pier. Organizers said 5,200 events were scheduled around the globe to mark the day. (Sean Hiller Staff Photographer)

At precisely 3:50 p.m., the group formed a line as far as the eye could see. The timing was to remind people that their goal was to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million, said organizer Joe Galliani.
