The Times’ Sports section was well worth the read — at least the sportswriters were competent journalists who knew how to cover their subject. Bummer that Mark Andrade left for ESPN.
The rest of the paper? Unreadable. Not so much because of the agenda-driven journalism, the hack local columists like Steve Lopez, the sock-puppetry on the Golden State blog, the transparent hit-piece on the Governator three days before the recall election, the compromised coverage of the Staples’ Center opening, but because, unlike the sportswriters, the rest of the journos employed there simply weren’t good at their craft. A week’s work of reading Patterico would show anyone that.
Poor ink-stained guild-mentality wretches — their faith in credentialism is naive and rather touching.
