A February 3rd article published in the L.A. Times stated , “Forty-four percent of Americans get their news from Facebook, according to the Pew Research Center, filling a void left by the declining ranks of newspapers”, [http://www.latimes.com/…/la-fi-election-media-20161109-stor…] . “By comparison, only 2 in 10 U.S. adults get news from print newspapers today.”
I should add, that’s Hollywood, as projected through the voice of L.A. City Hall’s darling, the L.A. Times, [http://www.latimes.com/…/la-me-garcetti-trump-20161122-stor…].
A local L.A. print news industry does little to challenge a status quo of satisfying and ‘sating’ (*wink, wink) the white pragmatists establishments’ deepest inner demons,

And then again, the local papers always seem to skip a very necessary beat, [http://www.latimes.com/…/la-fi-gender-wage-gap-20170915-sto…],
before band-wagonning on to champion for the greatest wounded hearts once a public outcry with zest storms off in the opposite direction, [http://www.latimes.com/…/la-fi-ct-weinstein-lapd-victim-201…].
I recently quit a newsroom, 72 hours prior to the public Weinstein scandal outbreak, after proposing to write an article connecting THC edibles that include aphrodesiac-like non-organic compound ingredients with the recent breakout of surging STD levels for hepatitis, syphilis and gonorrhea, at a trifling 600% increase in SoCal, this year. My colleagues pretended with an affable display of smirking, to my face, not to understand the impending connection.?#$%^&*LMFAO…

It is certainly a matter for public knowledge that white privilege and sexual assault coalesce in the Weinstein case, and the foundation for this type of crisis is not hard to establish. It should be told comprehensively, like the Anita Hill inquiry during the Supreme Court Justice nomination of Clarence Thomas, (1991), or the Kennedy cousins rape trials , (1992),https://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/1992/03/dunne199203 , from the constituent vantage.
Still, let’s review and compare the L.A. Times column print space dedicated to ‘hypocritically’ condemning Donald Trump for his sexist offensive ‘personality disorder’.
“With such a glaring failure of moral leadership at the top, it is desperately important that others stand up and speak out to defend American principles and values”, an August 20th, 2017, L.A. Times newspaper’s editorial board wrote.

The L.A. Times tourguide, has a saying, “Don’t take your editor out to lunch, take your advertisers out to lunch.”

We must frequently challenge the status quo in L.A. , for all the unsavory diplomatic shielding aside, the scale of human vitality, such as our responsibility to adhere to and to promote civic justice, is nothing less than that of a vital human necessity.

That is what the protections for an American freedom of the press are intended for.
Free tickets to Dance-mash-up Weekend, [https://patch.com/…/opinion-script-across-daily-bruin-headl…] , and other perks are being taken for granted by the college press, and ultimately, that sets a tone for the profession at large.
Withholding the evidence of truth from public knowledge, for whatever considerable period of time, even just one more day, gives the impression that journalism is more about how we, as journalists, advance a story rather than about how promptly we can resourcefully disclose as many of the facts, at present, known as soon as possible.https://arsononburlington.wordpress.com
I am not condemning the heroism of the L.A. Times, but the Bell scandal, (2010),
[https://www.cbsnews.com/…/la-times-wins-pulitzer-for-bell-…/], was their last great break, and DID NOT include any ruffling of the feathers for either former City of L.A. Mayor, Villariagosa’s or Mayor Garcetti’s City Hall administrations, [http://www.laweekly.com/…/mayor-villaraigosa-in-deal-to-pay…].
Not Trutanich’s or Feuer’s City Attorneys Offices,[http://www.metnews.com/articles/2017/trut022417.htm], either.
