if you're interested in writing for the "l.a. times" and living in brooklyn i've learned a lot that you don't pitch a story on woke media or even the infrastructure built before checking whether how the fires are because that's going to be the front page of a california-based newspaper so if you're interested in the priors that are disproportionately hit thewest coast i think the "l.a. times" is a great source . they are you can i'm a fan of newsletters, not that side but the kinds that organizations put out choose it on the things you need to know . i don't think we need differing views on the california fires. you reallyneed to know what the air quality is . i'm especially i also love the vaccine newsletter from the new york times to talk about vaccine rates in the country that are so disheartening and you know, rather than reading the atlantic had a story on why are we still wearing cloth masks? i guess that doesn't fit the description of woke but it starts by saying that we used to get our seersucker's in the beginning but now we s

those reporters from the l.a. times thought composite. this is literary device to propel the book. to give it a mysterious central character and also have in the movie this intriguing guidance. mark felt was deep throat. he was the former number 2 at the fbi and he leaked information to woodward. he never met bernstein until very late in his life. he met and leaked information to woodward because he wanted to become the number one guy at the fbi. the fbi director had died in may of 1972 a month before or six weeks before the watergate scandal's seminal crime, the break in, in democratic national headquarters, and that set in motion an intense rivalry to become -- who was going to become the fbi director? there was an acting director, l. patrick gray, and he wanted to become number one. he was leaking information to undercut his rivals inside the fbi -- inside the fbi. this is an interpretation that is persuasive in my view, and it's the subject of a book-like treatment called leak. self-disclosed as deep throat when he was in 90s, encouraged by his family to do so when he was late

the "l.a. times believe homelessness is a very serious problem in los angeles. with visitors in town for the super bowl, unable to ignore that even in the great city of angels, thousands sleep on the street every night. now, of course, the only real solution to help this problem would be to create more affordable housing, not just in los angeles but other parts of california. that's why the state is investing billions to create more of these affordable housing units, something that will take time. until then, it will be very difficult to offer housing that just doesn't exist for a lot of the people that are there. now, there is a lot of new housing being built in all parts of southern california, something that the activists say is a problem because much of that housing are apartments that are considered luxury apartments that are not really meant for those that really have the need. so it's a complex problem that the state is trying to solve by building more of this affordable housing. >> absolutely

. >> you told the "l.a. times keepers as a cigar club of like minded libertarians. what changed? >> i think it never really changed for him in his it beca. i think the libertarian side of things sort of left leaning libertarian, anything goes side of things was a pitch that he gave because there was a very large movement at the time. there was a lot of money. there was a lot of energy in the ron paul movement and i think he wanted to absorb that and eventually later he morphed a little more to the right and a little more to the right and eventually, you know, he's following trump and anything trump says and does and i think that that was actually his plan all along and that i was extraordinary naive. >> i hear you talk about this cooly and calmly. in court documents it's noted you testified and you're fearful for your children, six children and your safety if he is released. you said he brandished weapons in the home. you fear for your life and lives of your children. tell me more. >> he would often brandish a fir

now last month the l.a. times profiled blm co-foundertha. for tricolors and her split from blm. she said a that when the larger construct that you invested in abandoned you, where do you go? i think that what i'm really trying to figure out right now is trying to figure out where she is going toow go now w this woman walked away from running a charity with enough cash. all that reportedly some say toh buy four homes and then called criticism of this white supremacy. she said she never got a salary from black lives matter someck money before 2019 but not enough to buy multimillion dollar homes. so vehemently denied that . but nevertheless, when you have really i think upwards of one hundred million dollars in total raisedot by a hashtag, i mean, doesn't the government have a duty to find out where that money went and how it was spent? it's tax-exempt especially.d absolutely. and again, that's another ow thingp that's falling to the states and so be it. we're going to we're going totl pick up this mantle. we're going to get to. the bottom of it. you know, some of me i was you t kn

still reads l.a. times every morning to find out what's going on with the dodgers. but this is really the growth of the sport, a whole other arm of it in advancing into journalism. so the significance here, what i want you to take away from this is basically journalism and sports were often intertwined. and that's no different today. you think about today's relationship between sports teams and media and broadcasting, lots of money involved. every major league team like billions of dollars worth of contracts with media companies, key part of the revenue is that originates over 100 years ago. so a little bit more about we're going to wrap up on sports journalism a little bit more about it. al sphinx son taylor would have his own role to play in the evolution of sports journalism. he kind of cranks it into overdrive, basically. this is the guy who works seven days a week, six nights a week. i guess he took one night off per week. he was contacting his correspondents who were providing him with data about baseball games all over the nation. he was contacting them all h
