Washington Post (Dana Milbank): “There are various reasons you might not care about the Obama administration’s spying on journalist James Rosen and labeling him a ‘co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor’ in an espionage case. Liberals may not be particularly bothered because the targeted journalist works for Fox News. Conservatives may not be concerned because of their antipathy toward the news media generally. And the general public certainly doesn’t have much patience for journalists’ whining.”

LA Times: “Wendy Greuel called Eric Garcetti early Wednesday morning to concede the mayoral election, a Greuel campaign source told The Times, ending a two-year campaign to determine Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's successor and the new political leader of Los Angeles. Garcetti will be the first elected Jewish mayor of the city. At 42, he will also be the youngest in more than a century. He is scheduled to take office July 1. ‘Thank you, Los Angeles,’ Garcetti wrote in a tweet posted at 2:52 a.m. PDT. ‘The hard work begins but I am honored to lead this city for the next four years. Let's make this a great city again.’”

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “With a convincing win for the Democratic nomination for mayor of Pittsburgh Tuesday, Bill Peduto was on the threshold of capturing the office he's sought in three campaigns and one that he pledged to use to replace the city's ‘machine’ with a new, more progressive coalition. ‘Tonight we stand at the dawn of a new Pittsburgh, one that builds from our past with a vision for the future,’ the exultant winner told a packed house at the headquarters of the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers headquarters.”
