Orange County Register Owner Blasts Los Angeles Times' Story on His 'Ghoulish Strategy'

By: Jim Romenesko | JimRomenesko.com

Orange County Register owner Aaron Kushner, who is buying life insurance policies on some of his employees, advises his staff to print out yesterday’s Los Angeles Times story — headlined “The O.C. Register’s supremely ghoulish financial strategy” — and use it “as a reminder of the kind of newspaper and journalism of which we want no part.”

“Life insurance is not ghoulish, nor are the people who sell it, nor are those who buy it,” says Kushner.
