I find it fascinating that the only major newspaper with an activist bent is the same one that has a sense of humor on its editorial page: the Wall Street Journal.
On Thursday the WSJ had a lead article on Coke being stupid about keeping Mexican bottled Coke out of the U.S. because it infringes on (probably illegal) bottling franchises. Mexicans in the South and Mexican-Americans prefer Coke bottled in Mexico because it uses cane sugar not corn sugar used in USA bottled Coke (Europeans get beet sugar in their Coke.)
The WSJ had three articles on executive compensation, all taking the position that something needs to be done. I hastily got off an email to the writers of the articles pointing out the exemplary behavior of PG&E on this issue.
Footnote: The "crusading Lefty" LA Times did a four part series on what a sicko schmuck Caesar Chavez was. Its absolutely true. But the LA Times wouldn't write the article until the United Farm Workers Union was on its death bed.
