An embarrassment in Los Angeles TV news

Regular readers of this blog know that I lived in southern California for 20 years; and although I've not called it home for well over a decade, I still follow events from there closely.

This report angered me. The shortcomings of television news have been well documented by educators, commentators, bloggers and others. Each of those groups undoubtedly would feel the same anguish I do upon learning that one Los Angeles television station has abandoned its news operations. Why?

Of course, economics. You also can probably guess which media mogul is behind this decision. If you can't, here's a small hint: His initials are RM.
