L.A. Times hires Mexican immigrant as editorial page editor

An e-mail from Dan Sheehy:

American Patriots -

The Los Angeles Times today announced that leftist Michael Kinsley is being replaced by leftist and Mexican Andres Martinez to head the paper’s editorial page. Martinez is a native of Mexico. He has a bachelor’s degree from Yale, a master’s in Russian history, and a law degree from Columbia. Martinez said his appointment means the newspaper would continue to support “free trade in Central America.” He said he plans to partner with the Downtown Public Library in a series of public forums called Zocalo. I’ve visited the Zocalo in Mexico City. It’s a giant square filled with impoverished people, just like the millions flooding into our country. I remember watching pitiful-looking women sitting on the sidewalk in front of the cathedral, openly breast-feeding their babies and begging for money.

Interestingly, the L.A. Times, which is owned by the Tribune Company in Chicago, no longer publishes its number of subscribers, probably because tens of thousands of Americans have dropped their subscription, many of whom have left Mexifornia. With a Mexican in charge of the editorial page and Americans continuing to escape Mexifornia, how much longer before the paper becomes a Spanish-language paper, I wonder? Los Angeles already has a Mexican mayor, and millions of Mexicans live in the Los Angeles region, so why shouldn’t the L.A. Times become a Spanish paper sometime down the road? And isn’t it also interesting that this paper, just like all the rest of the corporate media in America, still haven’t reported that on March 23 of this year President Bush met with Mexico’s Fox and Canada’s Martin in Texas, where they quietly agreed to the merger of the three countries and agreed to let the Council on Foreign Relations work out the details. That’s when Bush publicly called the Minutemen “vigilantes.” Bush agreed to the merger two weeks after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met in Mexico City with Foreign Secretary Ernesto Derbez to discuss the “integration” of the U.S. with other nations in the Western Hemisphere. I write about those meetings in my new book, Fighting Immigration Anarchy: American Patriots Battle to Save the Nation. Can anyone spell T-R-E-A-S-O-N.
