For those who read the Los Angeles Times,

Meet the new boss:
"Last night David Hiller, from the Chicago Tribune came into town to replace Jeffrey Johnson because he "publicly opposed a corporate demand for a stringent cost-cutting plan last month," In other words he was fired. Johnson would not bow down to the right wing Chicago Tribune.

Update: "Los Angeles Times editor Dean Baquet will stay at the newspaper for the time being, even after the paper‘s publisher was ousted following his and Baquet‘s refusal to make staff cuts ordered by parent company Tribune,""

"So to wrap this up—the big bombshell is the guy who worked with Justice Roberts and the discredited partisan conservative operative Kenneth Starr, today, was named publisher of one of the largest newspaper in the United States of America - the Los Angeles Times–exactly thirty days before one of the most important elections we've had. He fired publisher Jeffrey Johnson and took over last night to the stunned silence of everyone at the Times who met him in a aborted Q&A Meet and Greet that didn't go well according to today's front page story in the Times.

This is a stunning development for the so-called "liberal media". The lawyers are now firing and taking over the actual running of the outlets because the underlings will not do their bidding. All reports indicated and Johnson is acknowledging, that he would not follow orders on newsroom cuts and other directives!"
