LAT cheerleads for Dems

On today's front page, the LAT argues that Republicans may face a landslide loss of Senate seats in November. The Dems could win seats in Mississippi, Alaska and North Carolina, the LAT says.

But shouldn't arguments be saved for opinion pages? Isn't the front page of a newspaper a news page where events that have occurred are reported so readers are brought up to date about happenings around the world? Apparently, not much happened on Saturday that was newsworthy so the LAT had to fill space on the front page with political fodder.
