Reading L.A. blogs

Metrofeed LA is a new website that does nothing but use RSS to pull together postings from various Los Angeles-centric blogs that actually "create content," as the techies say. Today's feed is a bit quirky, with the links to L.A. Observed appearing in no discernible order. LAVoice.org digs into the site and talks to a founder.

LA.COMfidential busts Fox News for reporting that a Cal State Long Beach professor required his English 101 students to write anti-Bush essays. The site says that students could choose from 56 topics for their exercise in writing an argument essay, and says Fox was also wrong in claiming that the faculty Senate refused to look into it.
