Today's (Friday, January 6, 2006) print edition of the Los Angeles
Times found room in their paper for:
... 2315 words and two articles on tonight's
Book of Daniel TV show,
... 1431 words for an article about Jon Stewart hosting the
Oscars,
... 182 words on Pat Robertson's Ariel Sharon remarks,
... 1477 words on the effects of the decline of the popularity
of tennis (on page A1, nonetheless).
Amazingly (or maybe not), the Times could not find one
syllable to report, "A campaign fundraising group for Sen.
Hillary Rodham Clinton has agreed to a $35,000 fine for
underreporting hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on a
Hollywood fundraiser in 2000" [AP
link] (emphasis mine).
The fundraiser was in Hollywood, mind you. It's hard to
imagine if the fine was related to, let's say, Arnold Schwarzenegger
that the Times would be silent.
