Well, the Los Angeles Times is probably in real trouble now after losing Barbra Streisand as a reader. I love this part of her letter:
I'm almost embarrassed for you in seeing the LA Times being referred to as the "Chicago LA Times" on the myriad of internet sites I've visited in the last few days. It seems, however, an aptly designated epithet, representing the feeling among many of your readers that your new leadership, especially that of Jeff Johnson, is entirely out of touch with them and their desire to be exposed to views that stretch them beyond their own paradigms.
Call me crazy, but "views . . . beyond their own paradigms" sounds like Babsledygook for "someone who reinforces my own liberal prejudices."
Keep reading the stuff on the site, by the way, which seems to be devoted to all of Barbra's thoughts. Highly entertaining in a strange way.
