I knew things were bad ...
At the L.A. Times, but I hadn't realized it was quite this bad.
This is the day for farewell messages down at the Times ... the newspaper losing 57 reporters, editors, columnists and photographers in one day.
It's not a surprise, given the terrible reporting at the paper of record for the West Coast, as documented ad nauseam by Patterico, who notes:
Regular readers know that while I despise this paper, I take no joy in watching people leave their jobs — and in this case, the paper is losing some of its best people (as well as some others whom I have harshly criticized in the past).
[...]
This paper is slowly dying in front of our eyes. This is just the latest wound.
I've none of Pat's regrets; the Times is simply terrible, a fact recognized by the readers, who have been fleeing in droves.

I take great joy in watching this paper die on the vine. It's a bastion of anti-Americanism.
To the Times, illegal aliens are "undocumented workers", Arab terrorists are "insurgents," white males are inherently racist and out to put one over on more minorities and women, corporations are out for nothing but greed and profit, global warming is a proven fact and the absolute fault of the United States, etc. etc. and so on.
Stupid people don't read papers, intelligent people don't read bad ones.
