Is There Anyone Left To Run The LA Times?
Weird story as Andres Martinez, the head of their editorial page, quits because he didn't disclose a relationship to someone in Brian Grazer's production company, and Grazer's guest-editing the op-ed page this Sunday (or was, until this happened). Martinez appeared to be mad that the Publisher would go over his head and cancel the Grazer edition of the op-ed page because of the appearance of impropriety, calling it a "vote of no-confidence."
So let me get this straight... the guy who ran one of the most anti-worker editorial pages in the country quits because his boss made an executive decision and usurped his authority?
Classic.
Much more (possibly too much more) from Kevin Drum here and here. Who the hell cares if Brian Grazer guest-edits the op-ed page, no matter the reason why? Why is that suddenly a crime?
