I was present for the demise of the Santa Barbara News-Press, which once upon a time had been the newspaper that blew the whistle on the John Birch Society and won a Pulitzer. They weren’t of the stature of the LAT, but they were quite important locally. Then they were purchased by (drumroll please) a billionaire, Wendy McCaw.
Dr. Sunshine has at his disposal a stellar roster of investigative reporters and columnists. He has betrayed them as surely as he has betrayed the readers. Whatever his original intent, the (drumroll please) South African billionaire has just chosen his class over his readers and the country.
