I am NOT reading the LA Times EVER AGAIN

Clicking on the link is like buying another copy of the paper. It just puts money in the fishwrap’s bank account because it serves as another indicator of the wide-spread appeal of the propaganda arm of the daily trOJan. And think about it — do you need any more reasons to not like the ’wrap? Do you really need another reason to cancel your subscription or to do as LoyalAlum and thousands of others have done and cancel your subscription?

First of all he is not a beat reporter, he is a columnist. Second, he does this to everyone. Sure he is an asshole in this interview, but TJ Simers has been an asshole to just about everyone in LA Sports for the past 10(?) years. That is his stchick, he is the turd in the punch bowl. On the other hand he has raised thousands (millions ?) for the UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital every year. He was the one who put together the Evening with Wooden And Scully this past summer at the Nokia theater. All the proceeds of that talk with Coach Wooden and Vin went to the Children’s Hospital. There are many reasons to take the LA Times to task, but a standard column by Simers is not one. You should see what he writes about his son-in-law.

Everything he writes has been terrible even when he was criticizing the dump dorrell effort. He picks on UCLA at any opportunity and rarely if ever discusses the nature of the trash/and infractions piling up at $UC

The fishwrap has been the only game in town for years and years. The only thing that they will listen to is diminishing revenues. Don’t subscribe. Don’t buy single copies. Don’t click on their website.

To those of you who still choose to enable the ’wrap, I have but one question: Is there absolutely, positively no other source of news? Ok, make that two questions: Do you have more loyalty to the fishwrap than you do to UCLA? That last one is a legitimate question. As is this one – how many BN readers subscribe to the on-compus version of the Daily trOJan? I assume no one. So why subscribe to the off-campus version? No one doubts that the editorial policy of the fishwrap is that justsc can do no wrong, and that no opportunity to take a shot at UCLA will be passed. So with ample other opportunities to learn what is happening in the world, why would any loyal Bruin continue to enable the fishwrap?

I feel like an evangelist at a mission on skid row. I’m preaching the Gospel, but no one is listening.

is the guy who writes auto reviews is ten times the writer he is. Dan Neil won a Pulitzer. The car guy, TJ?

hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Let’s try ignoring Simers and all his cronies at the fishwrap. How often do we quote the on-campus version of the daily trOJan? Let’s let them do their thing and preach to the justsc crowd all they want. Sure, there is a missed opportunity to correct bad information, but how much time is there to devote? You could spend all your time refuting the nonsense that comes out of that publication.

I don’t spend a lot of time on the conquest cornickles or what ever it’s called. I don’t need it. trOJan propaganda from whatever source just doesn’t interest me. The worst punishment that can be meted out to the blowhards at the fishwrap is to ignore them. If Simers or one of his pals says something n the middle of the forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it become accurate? (There’s probably a better way to make a nifty figure of speech out of the tree falling in the forest, but I don’t want to waste any more time on the ’wrap.)
