Patterico has a long post up detailing the LA Times Dog Trainer and its accuracy and objectivity over the past year. All I can say is that there's clearly a reason the Times web content goes behind a firewall after 7 days. Here's one small excerpt regarding minor corrections:
[T]he Dog Trainer ran a prominent front-page article about a guy who used to work for Tyson Chicken. He related harrowing tales of his mass slaughter of chickens, saying he had killed 80,000 chickens in a shift. He said his time at Tyson was more haunting than when he had killed enemy soldiers in Panama, or when he had spent time in prison for manslaughter. This was a great story, except that he didn't kill 80,000 chickens in a shift, he was never in Panama or even in the military, and he didn't go to prison for manslaughter.As they say, go read the whole thing.

I admit that it's long, but there's no such thing as a short post compiling Dog Trainer biases and errors.
