How Do You Get THAT Delivery Route?

Barbra Streisand has canceled her subscription to the Los Angeles Times over the firing of the paper's liberal columnist, which she felt reduced the diversity of voices on its opinion pages. (With statements like that, I see a long career as a University professor for Ms. Streisand.)

Robert Scheer had been a Times columnist for 12 years. He was a reporter for the newspaper for 17 years before that.

Quoting from her letter:

Robert Scheer's column, with its often singular voice of dissent and groundbreaking expositional content, has been among the most notable features that have sustained my interest in subscribing to the LA Times for many years now.
