In case you missed it, Hugh Hewitt interviewed Tim Rutten of the L.A. Times on the subject of newspapers and media last week just before the hurricane hit. It is a lengthy interview, but well worth reading as it amply demonstrates just why The Elite Media Monoculture doesn't get it. Tim Rutten is a smart guy. But like most liberal lefties in the media, he seems unable to see his own bias or to understand how an entire newspaper run by biased individuals like himself would drive away half of its potential readership. Nor does he acknowledge the value of truth in advertising when it applies to himself. It's funny how reporters don't seem to understand that they are part of a business. And they don't understand how driving away half of your readership is bad for business in an age where people can go elsewhere for news and information.
