Ed Padgett Suspended From LA Times For Blogging About Last Week's LAT Press Melt Down!

Go to the above link and then scroll down to read my comment on this story.  But be aware it may not be approved until this afternoon.  So - until then - here it is:


I can not imagine the Los Angeles Times would be clueless enough to fire you. Or at least I would have thought that before last night.  

But after I saw the lead article - and lead photo - on the LAT website last night was a full scale review of a novel written by first time novelist Glen Beck, I realized idiots and morons are running the LA Times.

How Can One Neighborhood Be Called Arlington Heights, the Wilshire DIstrict and South Los Angeles - All In One Article?

In the LA Times, the headline correctly says Arlington Heights and the story says South Los Angeles - which is also arguably correct, though some might object - but the URL of the story identifies it as being in the Wilshire District, which is totally wrong.

Man found shot dead in car in Arlington Heights

June 6, 2010 |  8:22 pm
A  man in his 50s was found dead in his car with a gunshot wound to the head early Sunday morning in South Los Angeles, police said.
A woman, possibly the victim’s daughter, summoned police to the scene in the 2100 block of 2nd Avenue in Arlington Heights about 5:30 a.m., said Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Gregory Baek.
