I'm not very familiar with the LA Times but recall being told it's on a par with the San Jose Mercury and, possibly, the New York Times. That said, I don't understand why they would publish such a crappy Yahoo-like article. Where is the news in it? What was its impetus for writing it? It's like an article in the National Enquirer where the writer is provided a title and told to fill in the rest. So yeah, I agree with you. I would write to the editor, not the writer. She won't care, much, and the editor might even talk to her about it. Unfortunately, since they published it I am now of the opinion that the LA Times is suffering from the general decline in readership, advertising, and business, that so many papers are experiencing. I may write to the editor myself, too.
