First it was the loss of our beloved LA Weekly (though many still haven't noticed) to a consortium of mysterious pockets, deep pockets who fired nearly everyone and kept the shell an goodwill (the intangible characteristics of a business like its name and reputation).
Now a Big Pharma billionaire has bought the struggling Los Angeles Times, not to save it but to put the final nail in its coffin. We can expect more drug ads and even less real news, with more bias and spin than McClatchey could ever give it.

The sale would come amid turmoil at the LA Times, which has suffered through years of cutbacks and a revolving door of leadership in top positions. More
