L.A. Observed is reporting that L.A. Times film critic Kevin Thomas may be one of the next writers cut loose due to downsizing and face-lifting. Getting rid of the old guys seems to be the mantra — they cut lefty columist Robert Scheer and righty cartoonist Michael Ramirez primarily, I think, because they wanted younger blood (it was a bad call, IMO; Scheer and Ramirez were just about the only LAT editorial voices anyone ever talked about).
I’ll refrain from further comment until it’s confirmed, or denied. But most readers already likely know what I think of Mr. Thomas.
Hm. VAgue bell ringing.
