Not Even Trying to Conceal Bias LA Times

LA Times OpEd for the upcoming vacancy election:

Gomez has virtually the entire Democratic establishment behind him, with support from big names such as Gov. Jerry Brown and L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti.
But his resume shows that Gomez doesn’t just have establishment backing; he also has substance. A state legislator since 2012, he has a solid resume and progressive track record. .... Ultimately, however, we endorsed Maria Cabil- do
, a longtime community activist, affordable housing developer and former city planning commissioner. But Cabildo came in third, after attorney Robert Lee Ahn.


Between Gomez and Ahn it’s no contest, though Ahn certainly has his virtues. One of them is his experience on the city redistricting commission and later on the city Planning Commission. He’s thoughtful and intelligent, and people who have worked with him say he’s good at bringing opposing factions together. And having a Korean American in Congress at a moment when tensions are so high with North Korea could be a good thing.
...
That may have something to do with the fact that, up until 2012, Ahn was a Republican. Ahn explains that his views have always been “progressive,” but his parents were Republicans so he became one too.

See now?  The second best Liberal Democrat is still far superior to the top Republican... ummm Moderate Democrat. 

And another thing.  Optics.  The LATimes is no stranger.  Here is the single side by side picture they use:

Notice all the subtle visual cues enhanced.  Pathetic.
