Stay Tuned

Last October, a man called with a complaint. Before I could ask what was the matter, he launched into a tirade about a biased and\n\ninaccurate article. He said he couldn\’t believe a serious newspaper would print such lies. He was so angry, he was this close to canceling his subscription.\n\nI wasn\’t sure which article he was referring to, so I gently asked him to be more specific. He went on to describe a piece I had absolutely no memory of.\n\n\”Are you sure you read this in The Jewish Journal?\”\n\n\”The Journal?\” he said. \”No! This was in The Los Angeles Times.\”\n\n\”The Times?\” I said. \”So why are you calling me?\”\n\n\”Because they won\’t pick up the phone!\”

The angry man in the back of the room at El Caballero Country Club in Tarzana was shaking his fist and calling us crooks.

I made a big mistake — eye contact. With me in his range, he raised his hand, and I think his middle finger, and yelled, \”You!\” Being a city ethics commissioner, I didn\’t think I should be called a crook in public.

Pressure Power?
