Good news for white supremacists.... errrr, I mean 'pessimists.'

The outrage liberal bloggers have felt at their underrepresentation in major news outlets has gone on the back burner of late, even though cable news continues to be a conservative stronghold and major newspapers still seem to be convinced that giving jobs to right-wing pundits is still the perfect way to end criticism from conservatives. But a brand new blog on the LA Times site appears poised to reignite the debate when their new kid on the block wrote the following just a few days into his new assignment:

Some good news for pessimists today: California is headed toward a political system dominated by a white minority which votes and sets public policy at the ballot box, while Latinos and other ethnic groups that make up the majority of California's population sit on the sidelines.

....White people are expected to be only one-third of the state's adults in 2040, the report said. But their power at the ballot box will remain strong — still representing a majority of voters in 25 years.

At best, sloppy. At worst, openly racist. Liberals have been putting up a hard fight against this sort of stupefying "political punditry" being given the imprimatur of respectable news outlets-- a fight that shouldn't be necessary in the first place. But whether it's about fear of right-wing attacks on the 'liberal media' or the bottom line, it's obviously the new conventional wisdom for the American press. Too bad for the nation.
