Take Back the Times: Macy's Ad Wrapped Around LAT California Section Is A New Low

Take Back the Times: Macy's Ad Wrapped Around LAT California Section Is A New Low

  1. This morning I I grabbed the paper and hauled it into bed. That wrapping was annoying! I had to unwrap everything as I read it. I finally resorted to taking the adverts, crumpling them up, tossing them across the room for the dogs, who like to chase such mindless things.

    What's the measure of pride at the Times? The journalism or the adverts?

    Seems to me the question has been answered today.

    The 1st admendment allows newspapers to write but advertising allows them to publish.

  5. However, I happen to think that wrapping up the newspaper in another piece of unwanted newspaper is a waste of my time.

    On the other hand, I would very much like to thank the LA Times for providing my pets with much wanted exercise. They had a ball chasing those things around. Later, we tossed them into the recycling pile.
