More Non-Representation from the Dog Trainer’s “Readers” Representative
Time and time again, L.A. Dog Trainer “Reader’s” Representative Jamie Gold reminds us all who she really represents, although she doesn’t seem to be doing a very good job of representing them, either. Money quote:
I’ll let editors here know that if you were the editor, you would have devoted space to exploring Mintz’s background.
Memo to the Trainer: if your ombudsman won’t “ombud,” you’d do better not to have one at all.

I sent their ombudsman a couple web pages, suggesting they might want to give some background info on a certain person the next time they featured them as a quote source.
The email I got back read something like: “I understand you found out about this via a web search. As you know, web searches (or the internet or something similar) are unreliable, and our reporters don’t rely on them”
The first web page I sent had a video which, of course, would be hard to fake.
The second web page I sent was just a collection of links to newspapers, including to the L.A. Times.
Unreliable indeed. Heh.
