LA Times
forced to apologize, after
readers objections followed a Travel section article on former internment camp National Parks (Tule Lake and Manzanar). This because the paper published wingnut troll complaints about the Parks' "anti-U.S. remake of history." Complete with the usual tropes about "loyalty to Japan," and families living high-hog off the government, while GIs fought for their freedom.
Who knows if publication was OK'd by an ignoramus, or if it was because we need to understand the minds of the poor downtrodden Trump voters. The less than vigorous apology—
Davan Maharaj, editor-in-chief and publisher of The Times, said the letters did not meet the newspaper's standards for "civil, fact-based discourse" and should not have been published.
