Rupert Murdoch to Buy the LA Times?

The Tribune Co. which owns the LA Times, among other newspapers, is under bankruptcy. Rupert Murdoch of News Corp has indicated some interested in purchasing the paper.

I do not know whether to taking a flying leap off of Palos Verdes Cliff or to Dance up and down Olvera Street. No matter how liberal the US Government may, the "average Joe" who has to make payments on his home and balance his checkbook will chafe at the nonsensical notions which the LA Times editorial board seems to champion.

They have endorse liberal candidates across the board, standing by their support for President Obama despite the dismal economy and sputtering job market.

I knew that the free market of ideas would put an end to the all too liberal bias of this paper. Even Democratic voters, I am sure, would get tired of a newspaper where the editorial page may be balanced, but the bias seeps through in almost every article, from the front page to the Business Section.

One neighbor told me that he would not wrap dead fish in a copy of the LA Times, so disgusted was he with the liberal slant of the editorials and the columns. Another neighbor told me that he had not opened up the LA Times in many years, so fed up was he with the slanted reporting.

I did my own investigation into their "investigation" of the Koch Brothers, the Republicans in the House, and the empty insinuation  that the Kansas-based conglomerate had bought every vote in order to get Keystone passed.

I still cringe when I read the article which maligned Todd Akin as some kind of insane misogynist. The same attack then erroneously reported that Akin did not win "reelection". He was not defending a Senate seat in the first place. The growing number of "errata" columns in the LA Times

I welcomed the editorials by Jonah Goldberg, and some of the center-left columnists presented persuasive arguments. Ted Rall's cartoons attacked every politician, left and right. Still, the virulent and insulting bias of "La Cucaracha" among other comic strips did not deserve to be ignored. It's a shame that the paper discontinued "Mallard Fillmore", even if not every reader was sympathetic with the conservative duck's points of view on issues.

Rupert Murdoch has signalled his support for liberal as well as conservative candidates, yet his support for conservative causes in general may be just the welcome trend in the Fourth Branch of Government (the Press) which will slow and perhaps retrench the liberal bias which offends so many in Southern California.
