Now that we have your attention, I’d like to request the following:

1. Fire Bill Splashme.
2. Fire T.J. Slimers.

Those two are completely useless. They embarass your entire newspaper by posing as “journalists.” Do a quick bit of research. We’ve done a pretty thorough job here at BN telling you why they are worthless.

Make it happen. Improve your newspaper. Fire those ass-clowns.

Way to go 66! His is the template of a well written, though out, and valid criticism that got results.

That the editors actually devoted time and thought, and then made the effort to change the pictures, shows how wrong they were to have published them in the first place.

…is the LA Times trying to get CRN to “play ball.” Even T.J. Slimers admitted as much in one of his columns when he basically said that Pete Carroll is more “fun” to cover. Oh, boo hoo. CRN doesn’t give you idiotic quotes to put in your column? You mean you have to work harder and ask intriguing questions? LAT will continue to throw UCLA under the bus until our administration becomes more “LAT friendly.” I say F it.

Especially SJH Class of ‘66. I spotted his fanshot earlier this morning and wanted to write up a huge Call To Arms. Unfortunately I am under the gun, editing a short I filmed in Mexico, and just didn’t have the wherewithal to do the research, link to items, and etc.

Recently in response to an attack piece by the OC Register, I put up a short and quickly written call to arms; uniting the Bruin faithful in this information age so that we can respond quickly and vehemently when ever they put out another attack piece. (There will be more!) 66 did a great job of getting our blood boiling. (I know mine was) and everybody else did the rest by attacking the Trojan Times. But, we can do more.

Recently I attended a documentary screening on the Chicano Movement of the 60s and 70s and learned a great deal about the walk outs, sit ins, and protests that you just don’t hear about in the traditional media or in the classroom for that matter. After ward one of the old timers told us all how quickly they could raise a few thousand people in only a couple of hours! Using only rotary phones, and word of mouth! They did not have cell phones that can text an entire phone book at once. They did not have email blasts, or Website banners to call attention to something that needed to be done. They were just concerned individuals (like us) with a common goal (like us) and a deep seated love of their community. (like us) Think about it!

Finally I will end my rant by saying it is very good news that the Trojan Times feels the need to attack us in this way. I have often told anybody that cared to listen that SC plays football the old fashioned way. Beyond the field, they play it behind closed doors, in back rooms making secret deals. Thugaluga was not kidding when he said he owned the police. It is not coincidence they choose to attack our boys for what is most likely a minor indiscretion while ignoring the rampant criminality going on under their noses in South Central. The good news here is that they and their Trojan Overlords feel nervous about our success and likelihood of continued success. They feel threatened enough to do something about it. Thus this most recent attack, the preceding attacks in the OC Register, the poodle’s comments to the press, etc. We’re doing something right, and they don’t like it.

Excellent work Class of 66. Keeping the world honest as always.

I’m new to BN. Hope to post more soon.

This doesn’t seem to be a case of isolated picking on UCLA. It seems to be yet another case of ingrained and often subconscious racism. It’s not limited to the LA Times or to coverage of UCLA, though this case is very blatant.

Did the LA Times issue any kind of statement, either public or private about their change in photos?
