Having growin up in Los Angeles I will never forget this. I am too young to
actually have read it in the bad old days, but my parents and grandparents
never really trusted the LAT because of what it had been. I grew up as a
proud LAT reader, convinced it was the third best paper in the country
(though bloated) - having proven its worth during Watergate, breaking its
fair share of stories. I used to wake up at 6:00 every morning in high
school and read the paper from our front porch with breakfast.

Murdoch and the original LAT were made for each other, more's the pity.
