LA Times editor says no to cuts

Posted by Fired Fred on January 21, 2008 4:50 PM
For those of you wondering if I'm going to whine about my Chargers LOSING A WINNABLE GAME at Foxboro against the Pats, the answer is no, mostly because Christmas Ape at Kissing Suzy Kolber already did a good job with that. If anyone knows how the league's leading rusher who was 90% healthy for the game touched the ball three times and never came back in can tell me what happened, please leave a comment.

Onward to the fired story of the day. Everyone's heard about how the newspapers are having their heads held in the toilet over costs these days. At the Times, James O'Shea took one for the newsroom when publisher David Hiller asked for $4 million big ones in budget cuts...
"We did not share a common vision for the future of the L.A. Times," O'Shea said.

"Think of it as the changes made at the start of a new presidential term," Hiller said. "In the context of these changes, Jim and I decided we no longer saw things the same way about how to take the company forward."
The Times is getting absolutely schooled because people don't want to wait for the morning paper that they don't have time to read anyway when they want the news. Horse and cart, meet the Ferrari.
