Substandard writing on business and economics

LAT reporting on business and economics is seldom worth reading because it so seldom is accurate. Too much reporting is interpretive instead of objective. Usually, such interpretations are anti-business, pro-union or pro-government (advocating more governmental restrictions on businesses or investors.) Tom Petruno and Peter Gosselin are most likely to do this but others do it as well. The one bright spot is Kathy Kristoff, who invariably reports factually and who almost always has the facts right.
