A few weeks ago, City Attorney Mike Aguirre requested documents from the local public radio/TV station, KPBS. Those documents, which Aguirre has posted on his website, show poignantly how the Copley family's donations have slanted KPBS's news reports. (The station's building bears the Copley name.) The documents show clear favoritism to U-T talking heads who spout the establishment/Copley line. That is the opposite of what public radio and TV are supposed to do. Immediately, the U-T began a barrage of editorials, infantile blog entries and slanted news stories attacking Aguirre on various topics. Yesterday, the Sanders administration and U-T coordinated an assault on Aguirre, preposterously trying to blame him for excessive benefits to pensioners, when intelligent San Diegans know that he has been the one trying to fight these outlandish benefits. Typically, the U-T's purported news coverage and its editorial spouted the same line, although the two functions are supposed to be separate. The good side of all this is that the more the U-T continues its untruthful assaults on Aguirre, the more its circulation plummets. The newspaper is driving itself into irrelevancy, and a deep financial hole.
