How about just reporting the truth?

Instead of cutting reporters and having an editorial board filled with rightwingers? I mean... The Los Angeles Times actually prints Jonah Goldberg's 'opinions'....

Los Angeles, California (AHN) - Top editor of a newspaper was fired over a dispute to order newsroom budget cuts up to $4 million.

James O'Shea, the Los Angeles Times editor, left after he rejected a management order, becoming the third editor within 1 and a half years who was fired over a confrontation with the top members of the newspaper.

The 64-year-old O'Shea, who had replaced Dean Baquet in November 2006, was fired by the Times Publisher David D. Hiller following a confrontation in between them.

O'Shea was the Chicago Tribune's managing editor before the Times following which the Times' parent, Chicago-based Tribune Co., was acquired by real estate magnate Sam Zell.

"All this other stuff that we talk about in terms of budgets and employees, those problems all emanate from declining readership," O'Shea told Chicago Tribune right after his appointment to the Times.

"Turn that around and all these other problems become easier to solve."

Baquet was also forced to resign from his position after he opposed further cuts to the newsroom budget in 2006.

I have been a subscriber to The Los Angeles Times for decades but will leave them in an instant if they tilt any more to the right. Declining readership isn't because of the net, it's because of the obvious catapulting of the White House propaganda and constrained journalism. Either understand your readers' expectations for unbiased reporting or lose subscribers. No one wants to read Fox News in print.
