Shame on the Los Angeles Times for Its Race Agenda

While there is plenty of condemnation that is appropriate for the Los Angeles Times, kudos to the Los Angeles Daily News and the Ventura County Star. I am talking about the arrest of foreign born commercial burglary suspects. See my article, Welcome to America, Now Please Rip Us Off. Both the LA Daily News and the VC Star mentioned that the suspects were from Latin America. Not the LA Times. Not a single word was written to describe the suspects with the exception of listing the primary crooks Hispanic name.

The Ventura County Star had a reader comment on its online version deriding the paper for not printing that the suspects were illegal aliens. The reader claimed:
Does anyone notice how the STAR refuses to name the many of suspects as "illegal aliens," as multiple broadcast news outlets did Tuesday night

There was no mention in the press release media package about the immigration status of the suspects. I did not hear any broadcast news reports on the arrests so I can not judge whether or not the information was released by the Sheriff.

In these contentious times, the LA Times does not have the guts to report the news accurately and responsibly. That’s probably because the truth is in opposition to the newspaper’s agenda.
