For the LA Times, that article was not too bad. The Review Journal here in Las Vegas just had a scathing article due to the fact that 66,000 acres were not included in the proposed 444,000 acres they are going to close. The tree huggers said it was a "good start".
When I lived in San Francisquito Canyon near Saugus an LA Times reporter came claiming to be doing an article on the old Butterworth Stage Route. What he actually did was bait the locals about the housing supplied by the DW&P to employees located in the National Forest. The article was so slanted and misquoted, it was rediculous. Everyone interviewed came across as idiots.
My wife was interviewed by the RJ here in Las Vegas about a Hallmark Ornament Collectors Club. He made her and the members sound like idiots. When she called him on it he said, "Your friends will know I was untruthfull and no one else cares".
Lesson learned. Don't talk to the press or believe anything they write.
The poor kid they quoted was probably baited, misquoted or never made the statements they credit to him.
