BEVERLY HILLS (CBSLA.com) — Residents of one of Southern California’s most exclusive neighborhoods were expected Thursday to protest the potential sale of the Los Angeles Times and Tribune Company newspapers across the country to the Koch Brothers.
Local activist and former Benedict Canyon Association board member Lauren Steiner will lead the demonstration along with as many as 400 of her neighbors and fellow activists to call on Tribune Company board chairman Bruce Karsh to reject the proposed sale.
The rally site at the corner of Benedict Canyon Drive and Tower Road is located near the home of Karsh, who controls the largest percentage of shares in the Tribune Company and thus is expected to play a key role in deciding to whom the Times is sold.
“We need to let Bruce Karsh know that this is not just another business deal between billionaires,” Steiner said in a statement. “Our community and our very democracy is at stake if the Koch Brothers add the L.A. Times and the other Tribune papers to their vast network of propaganda vehicles for their radical, right wing agenda.”
Speakers at the event were scheduled to include Kathay Feng, Executive Director of California Common Cause, Rabbi Jonathan Klein, Executive Director of CLUE, Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice, Jodie Evans, co-founder of Code Pink and a satirical performance by Clifford Tasner of the Billionaires.

BEVERLY HILLS (CBSLA.com) — Police were asking for the public’s help Tuesday in identifying a suspect in an apparent road rage incident in Beverly Hills.
On April 3, 2013 at approximately 6:00 p.m., the driver of a possible 2008 or later model white BMW 328i was involved in a road rage incident involving a bicyclist at the intersection of Doheny Drive and Clifton Way, according to Beverly Hills Police.
During the incident the bicyclist punched the driver in the face. The driver of the vehicle then allegedly threatened to kill the victim and followed him into an alley in the 9000 Block of Wilshire Blvd. between Wetherly Drive and Almont Drive, police said.
The driver intentionally rammed the bicyclist with his vehicle pinning him to a metal rolling trash bin, but police said the victim sustained non-life threatening injuries and is expected to recover.
The suspect is described as a male/Middle Eastern or White, mid-30′s with dark hair and dark eyes with a thin build. The suspect vehicle most likely sustained minor front end damage, police said.
Any person having information that can lead to the identification of the suspect is requested to contact Detective Eric Hyon at 310-285-2156 or by using the Crime Stoppers website.
