Los Angeles magazine
The New York Times sent
Bernard Weinraub (left) to the West Coast in 1991 to show they were taking Hollywood more seriously, says
RJ Smith. "Yet by leaving him in, the Times has suggested what they really think of L.A. -- that it's a lightweight town, that it's about amusement, not real news." In 1997, Weinraub married
Amy Pascal, now chairman of Columbia Pictures. "If a White House correspondent married a member of the administration, would the Times leave that person in?" writes Smith. "It's hard to believe they would."
