well at least it's on the bottom of the page on not stamped in the middle like that sticker machine they have used only a couple of times. I wonder how much that thing cost the company? If it keeps people working I am all for it.
It's not much different than so-called local "news" shows pumping up the affiliate network's prime-time lineup within the newscast, thinly disguised as a legitimate story. At least this is well-labeled as an ad.
I agree with the first poster -- if this keeps the lights on and good journalism flowing, so be it.
I've been to L.A. before...it's a sprawling city with endless suburbs. When I traveled through there in a bus, it took about three hours to get through the region. With all that area, they couldn't find any other hard news to put on the front page? I mean, not even something as mundane as Jack Nicholson getting his Valtrex prescription refilled?
