Los Angeles publisher a Republican supporter

David Hiller, the new Los Angeles Times publisher, turns out to be a keen supporter of the Republican party. Since 2000, while an executive with the media giant, Tribune, he has donated $9,500 to the party and to various Republican candidates. In 1999 he also gave a grand each to the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush and John McCain. Hiller is obviously close to Donald Rumsfeld too, recalling in his first article for the LA Times their games of squash - always won by the older Rumsfeld! (Via LA observed)
