Business Climate in Los Angeles

In response to “L.A. and Its Businesses--A Love Affair Gone Sour” (Dec. 18):

Can the media recognize themselves as the mother-in-law in this case? Or is it easier to see the motes in the eyes of bureaucracy, Mayor Tom Bradley or “anti-environmentalists”? But they haven’t originated or propagated the “anti-business rhetoric” you mention as such a large factor.

It is time for the media to accept their share of responsibility for what is happening to Los Angeles and California businesses. Perhaps a reversal of their editorial and reportorial attitudes could cause a major change in California’s business climate.
