What is the LA Times trying to say with this? And they wonder why nobody buys papers anymore

I noticed they didn't pick a pic of Obama where he was being mobbed and interacting w/ the troops.

1. Typical...

2. Some real pieces of work with those comments. Total IQ of about 15.

3. And the comments underneath are only

reflecting what they see in this "newspaper" that is clearly trying to manipulate the "news".

I've seen pictures of President Obama on this trip where he was being mobbed as was bush.

Some poor guy in his comment said he missed bush more every day:cry:

4. The LA Times, such a sad demise.

I grew up with it from the 1940's when I was old enough to open and read the comic page, and in my old age went out of my way to get a hold of copies no matter where I was at the time. When my husband and I had to finally settle down into one spot, I drove three miles every day to pick up a copy. Then one day we started noticing some change. Our favorite political cartoonist, Conrad, was replaced by a rw tool, whose name I don't even remember. Then our favorite editorial page contributors started disappearing, one by one. My husband still enjoyed the crossword puzzle, but he didn't read the rest of it. He said it wasn't interesting anymore. When he died, I didn't bother to get it either. It had become no different than the other fish wrappers out there. It wasn't the newspaper I had grown up with, and old with.

17. Cartoonist was Ramirez, I believe

Michael Ramirez was the far-right and decidedly unfunny cartoonist who replaced Conrad.

His cartoons consisted mainly of drawing unflattering pictures of Democrats and calling them poopy heads. OK, maybe not the words he used, but it was no more sophisticated than that. He was truly awful.

18. Too bad the propaganda paper is still

hanging around.

[ProSense]

5. You mean, what

this guy is trying to say?

Here's a hint

[LeftyAndProud60]

10. Good find. I get it now. NT

[Cha]

13. That manipulative old coot..

Would it do any good to sign on his manufactured blog with cherry picked pics and give him a link to Jackeens thread?!

This is pissing me off big time..I hate to see him get away with this.

6. HA!

Read some of the comments? I love the one that states (seriously, I think) that of course the troops like Dubya better because he's a VETERAN!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yea, a veteran. That's our Dubya. A real soldier. Mission accomplished.

Ridiculous. I watched the reception Obama got as it happened on TV. He absolutely had soldiers reaching out for him. And he reached back. Leave it to the LA Times to post such a ridiculous comparison. It's beyond disgusting.

9. Here's one from his first visit to Iraq.

[Cha]

14. I saw that too...the blood is boiling from

all the propaganda being pushed that has nothing to do with reality. Freakin' big brother andrew malcom.."whose parents stressed the importance of getting involved in Democracy"! HA! Orwellian bullshit.

[Drunken Irishman]

7. Oh but they're apart of the liberal media. What is the difference?

11. Thank you!

I hate the LA Times. This is another reason why. Thanks for posting photos that prove my eyes weren't lyin' when I watched this as it happened the other day!

[Cha]

12. The difference is ..I'm Pissed! How dare they manipulate

like that? I feel like getting on that blog and giving them a link to this..

8. I think you have to be a wingnut to work at the LA Times. Here's a nicer pic:

16. Because it turns out that andrew malcom

is a rw tool and manipulated this shyte.

I imagine if I got on his blog tomorrow that my comments wouldn't past moderation even though they would just be some facts and a link to the real full story pics of Pres Obama in Afghanistan.

Oh, and maybe a reality check of the AWOL bushtang.

[ChicagoSuz219]

19. Why is Bush rubbing that guy's head?

Is he making a wish, or something? Bizarre...

[Cha]

20. Can we get this Rec and out there to combat

the LAwhoretimes and andrew malcom?

[JI7]

21. i will be happy when this paper goes out of business, and i use to be a loyal reader

[Hekate]

22. Damn I MISS the LA Times! That's why I stopped subscribing to the rag Zell turned it into.
