Stephen Burgard's problem with
Kurt Andersen's latest
column: It relies on
Michael Kinsley's perspective. "What Kinsley accomplished during his short reign as opinion editor at the LA Times was the opposite of channeling East Coast import," writes the former LATer. "He took a serious West Coast editorial page and subjected it to embarrassment." Burgard notes: "These are hard times at a great newspaper out west, but they do not erase the reality that for the past generation the western Times on good days has been the envy of any American newspaper for the depth and scope of its coverage."
