LAT reports on "tea parties"

Well, sort of. The LAT didn't so much report on "tea parties" as try to blunt the effect of them. The LAT advised Republicans not to get too involved with "tea parties" and not to expect they'll have much effect. Besides, the LAT says, the "tea parties" "offer a fresh display of upheaval with the Republican Party" because the demonstrators in California called for the governator's recall and were opposed to the tax increases that were approved by the legislature and signed by the governator recently.

Such reporting helps to explain why each day fewer and fewer buy newspapers.
