Flawed logic on nation’s large budget deficit: Letters
For years, I loved reading the Los Angeles Times. I felt a responsibility to be an informed citizen. However, as a Cal State Northridge journalism major, I knew that opinions belong in the editorial section and should not masquerade as news in the news section. But over time, the “news” in the L.A. Times became more and more one-sided. I couldn’t take it anymore and, like so many others, I canceled my subscription. If I had wanted a Democratic National Committee newsletter, I would have subscribed to the DNC directly.
