Editor’s Memo: Reaching the Point Where No One Cares

WORLD WATCH

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is a serial liar. That’s not just an opinion … it’s a fact. Proof is available by the ton on the Internet. And, here’s another fact: no one cares! His myriad supporters are willing to take him for what he is. 

And for those who are not his supporters and harbor even a glimmer of hope that he will be defeated in this fall’s general election it is critical that they understand this most unique relationship in this most unusual time in our history. You cannot … will not … defeat Mr. Trump by simply calling attention to his numerous faults, ethics breaches and peccadilloes. 

Neil Gabler examines this paradox in Today’s CityWatch. How did The Donald become the nation’s Teflon king? Give it a read. Start the conversation. Let us know what you think. And, there's more...

 

 

There are things in our city … businesses, commercial enterprises, private property … that we think of as our own. The LA Times is an example. The Times is OUR paper of record. OUR record. LA’s record. Most of us feel strongly that the folks who run the LA Times should understand how personal this relationship is. And, how sensitive we are when they fiddle with OUR Times without inviting us into the conversation. 

Jack Humphreville speaks for us. He’s LA’s Watchdog. Watching out for us is his job. And, he thinks the Times needs a new owner … who will also watch out for us. And gets how personal this relationship is. He considers the prospects of that happening … in Today’s CityWatch. 

A number of people tell us what they think in Today’s CityWatch. That’s what we do. Take a look. Get into the conversation. Get engaged. It’s your city. It’s your CityWatch.
