These comments by Riordan don't exactly make his new L.A. paper sound particularly interesting.



The as-yet-untitled paper will be a broadsheet focusing on "local news, features, and columns about the media and Internet. It will be a weekly - I think you have to evolve into a daily - but we won't be politically correct, not one ounce of political correctness," Riordan vowed.

"When the L.A. Times pulls their P.C. stuff, we'll call 'em on it! When they pull their liberal spin and distort the news, we'll call 'em on it!"


Haven't we been here before?

I'm actually no fan of the Times. As a local paper it sucks, and as a national paper it mostly sucks with some occasional exceptions. But "Not the Times" does not a newspaper make. On either coast.
