Leonard made the remarks in response to an inquiry by the campaign of Deputy District Attorney Mario Trujillo ,who had advised Leonard that Alan Jackson had touted the endorsement of former California Governor, Pete Wilson. When Leonard asked for the source of such endorsement, the Trujillo campaign pointed to the David Berger blog, which is published under the facade of "Los Angeles Dragnet." Leonard stated emphatically and on the record, "Everyone in the newsroom knows that blog is not a reliable source. Too many journalists have been burned by that huckster" In fact, it is well-known that the Berger blog is really nothing more than an arm of the Steve Cooley/Jaquelyn Lacey political smear machine, written with the standards of your average British tabloid.
As one longtime Los Angeles political insider observed, "Instead of Page Six girls, this blog has false and sensational stories about Nuch Trutanich and Alan Jackson. It's a running joke how transparent and one note the whole thing is."
It hasn't seemed to slow Trutanich down. Last week it was reported that Trutanich received over one million dollars in donations to his exploratory District Attorney campaign, without formally declaring his candidacy. Alan Jackson and Jaquelyn Lacey have received a disappointing small fraction of that, after campaigning for over a year, with Steve Cooley's support.
The community seems to be speaking loud and clear. They're tired of Cooley, Lacey, Jackson, and their brand of management, and seem to want Trutanich. Our friends at City Watch have conducted a poll asking whether Carmen Trutanich should run for District Attorney. The results thus far have over Seventy three hundred respondents with as of this posting 75% answering "Yes, Trutanich would make an excellent DA."
A veteran reporter at another media outlet, who is known for having a keen eye when it comes to the Los Angeles political scene, commented, "Cooley and Lacey seem to be serving out their final months bathed in a fountain of sleaze. Using one of their Deputy District Attorney's to blog political smear attacks, jumps the shark. "
After Rick Orlov and several other journalists were burned by Berger and his phony blog, Jack Leonard, and several other local journalists have confirmed that Berger is as credible as a Used Car salesman. It's not surprising since over the past couple years, the downtown L.A Justice community regards Berger as if he has leprosy. Now it's apparant the L.A. Jounalism community wants nothing to do with him either.

Cooley probably has something on Jack Leonard. It's no wonder the Times circulation is dropping. No one wants to buy this rag. Maybe Berger will give him a job on one of his many twitter sites.
Great picture of that snake Berger. Everyone is the office is sending it around and planning to tape it to their wall.
Keep 'em coming!!! This has made my day.
Nice how Rick Orlov publishes Lacey has the County Fed endorsement and it doesn't even look like she or Jackson could find a union to put either one of them before the fed. How did Trujillo find one? That union buster must have found either a gay union or a Latino sucker to believe his BS that he wasn't involved in Cooley's scam. Cooley is destroying everyone around him.
Clearly Jackson's cash spent on a smear campaign hasn't helped him. Nuch has raised so much money that you would think Jackson's advisors would come up with a new strategey.
Hi Pee Pee Pinocchio, I mean Berger. When are you ever going to grow up to be a real boy?
I saw this picture inside a bathroom stall at the CCB. I nearly lost my lunch. Although it did help me move my bowels much easier. Too f'ing funny.
Everyone is passing this photo around City Hall. I've never seen so many people laugh out loud.
Trutanich is talking about giving Berger a scroll for providing so much laughter to everyone.
Jack Leonard is known around L.A. as Hack Leonard. Did you see that biased hit piece he wrote on Trutanich?
Wonder how much Cooley paid him to write it? Wait til the lid is blown off the Hack-Cooley relationship.
Berger's nose is already up there. They don't need Prop 8 to give them permission to do their business on county time.
Berger the Stooge is a bastard who was fired by the city attorney office. In the 8 months he worked for nuch he did nothing but hang out by the trash can and smoke cigarettes. He is Cooley's butt boy. He does all of his blog postings on duty. Nuch will investigate this ass hole once he gets at the DA's office. Cooley will not be able to do a damn thing, but Cooley is a user and abuser anyway. Cooley will give his butt boy up in a hurry. He does that you know.
