More Damned Bullshit On The
Los Angeles Media Front

Maddy Crowell / Columbia Journalism Review:
A look at the erosion of editorial independence at Los Angeles magazine, which was bought in late 2022 by Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas' Engine Vision Media  —  The editor of Los Angeles magazine recruited new owners, who promised to invest in ambitious journalism.  The trouble was, he believed them. 
Did you think this had to do w/ the L.A. Times? This does:

More Than 70 People Reported Feeling Ill After Eating Oysters At L.A. Times ‘101 Restaurants’ Food Event

Ragusano is disappointed that the L.A. Times didn’t publicly disclose that there was an outbreak at their event. “Obviously they’re not going to print it in their paper,” Ragusano said. “But they‘re a newspaper and newspapers are supposed to share the news. This is how people usually find out about something like this,” she added. “It's ironic because it happened to them.”
A damn shame that stupid South African jerk wasn't there.
