Who owns the publication [L.A. Weekly]?
It’s a question we should ask no matter what we’re reading. In Latin there’s a phrase, Cui bono?
It roughly translates as “Who’s benefiting?” It’s a good idea to
know who’s profiting in any situation. Why? So we can make educated
decisions.
The new owners of the L.A. Weekly don’t want us to know
who they are. They are hiding from us. They’ve got big black bags with
question marks covering their big bald heads.
These new owners
just laid off nine hardworking journalists [out of 13]. Why? For sport? To start
anew? To fulfill a blood vendetta that is centuries old?
Maybe they have a good reason. Maybe they don’t. We don’t know. You don’t know. No one knows but them. Who owns [the L.A. Weekly]? It’s a fair question. Who’s benefiting? We deserve to know. Source
