No show this week, but some recommended reading: Marc Cooper writes: “This is the first Tuesday in years in which former L.A. Times national correspondent BOB SCHEER doesn’t have an opinion column. He doesn’t, you’ll remember, because the clairvoyants at the Times decided that the tens of thousands who read his column and appreciate his liberal view don’t really like reading it anymore. So, in today’s edition we find the first daily column by the guy who has been contracted to replace him – a struggling, whiny and not-so-funny aspiring TV writer, Joel Stein. Y’know, the sort of affable, ambitious and mouthy guy you can find in a waiter’s uniform in just about any white-table cloth restaurant in L.A. Thanks to the Times editors, we can now easily compare – say—Scheer’s last column with Stein’s first column and thereby evaluate the paper’s decision to replace one with the other.” CONTINUED at www.MarcCooper.com
