The Los Angeles Times, quite often referred to as the Pravda of the west coast is in similar decline. But it's due to in large part to their painfully obvious bias towards illegal immigrants, Democrats and similar leftist causes. For example, the tone-deaf LA Times completely misread the anger during the CA Gov. Grey Davis recall election/campaign. In fact, they went so far as to declare that Davis would survive the recall, despite polling running nearly 2:1 against Davis. When Davis was recalled, the LA Times was shocked that Davis went down. More recently, the LA Times sent a journalist to cover 100 people protesting against a liquor store in South-Central LA but totally missed a 15,000 person rally against the new taxes in the California budget.
It's this inability of the LA Times (and other papers) to separate the bias of the editorial page from the rest of the paper that's causing much of the decline.
