The L.A Times back to the future.

There has been much angst about Koch brothers buying the L.A Times.Like there is some law that newspapers must be liberal.But believe or not,there was time in California land when newspaper were conservative and instrumental in the promise of golden state and no more so then L.A Times.For until last Chandler,Otto ruled the Root(he took over in 1960) the L.A Time was beacon of conservatism.Indeed.largely through the L.A Times did Southern California raised hope of millions to move to the promise of California,jobs,land,sunshine,trees, if they were WASP from mid-west(names like Nixon and Reagan come to mind with this WASP trek from mid-west) it change landscape from Spanish to Anglo.The L.A Times said California offered prosperity to forgot WASP,looked down a pond the his Eastern plutocrat cousin,ironically Otto would be educated in fancy Eastern schools and try prove himself to the eastern WASP plutocrats.
Under Otto father Norman Chandler the L.A Times was so part California Republican establishment that it was Norman Chandler and Richard Nixon who pressured Goodie Knight,the Governor of California at the time,to drop out race for re-election for Governor and ran for William Knowland senate seat,believe or not,Knowland was minority leader,but he thought he have better chance of becoming President by being Governor of California,it was big switch and Republican party in California never reality recovered from it.
The L.A Times was big supporter of Richard Nixon until the nineteen sixties,in some ways it make his career.And oddly enough Nixon was everything that WASP plutocrats of East would hate.Curiously so did most Jews hate Nixon which must have hurt him,for undoubtedly he saw himself as Jews did coming from nothing to gain much power.But Jews(most of them not me) tend to be Left-Wing conformist and of course Nixon make his name exposing Alger Hiss as Soviet spy he was.Of course Hiss was very much part of Eastern WASP plutocracy.
