I was surfing some media sources and was astounded to read this. The LAT is so liberal is squeaks. I don't know how Carrol can survive there. The source is called "L.A. Observed
Los Angeles media, culture and history...mostly." Did not seem to be a right wing nut shop. And they source the material below.

LAT Editor Carroll declares war on "liberal bias"

Third floor editors at the Los Angeles Times are buzzing about a memo from top editor John Carroll dropped in their e-mail boxes last Thursday. It slams a front-page abortion story in that day's paper by Houston correspondent Scott Gold. The key grafs are these:

"I'm concerned about the perception---and the occasional reality---that the Times is a liberal, "politically correct" newspaper. Generally speaking, this is an inaccurate view, but occasionally we prove our critics right. We did so today with the front-page story on the bill in Texas that would require abortion doctors to counsel patients that they may be risking breast cancer.

[.....excerpted...]

The reason I'm sending this note to all section editors is that I want everyone to understand how serious I am about purging all political bias from our coverage. We may happen to live in a political atmosphere that is suffused with liberal values (and is unreflective of the nation as a whole), but we are not going to push a liberal agenda in the news pages of the Times."
