Los Angeles Times editorial boss resigns after billionaire owner Patrick Soon-Shiong scraps Harris endorsement
NY Post ^ | 10/23/24 | David Propper

The editorials editor for the Los Angeles Times stepped down Wednesday after the newspaper’s billionaire owner stopped the publication’s expected endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Mariel Garza is leaving her post at the Times because she wants “to make it clear that I am not OK with us being silent” after biotech entrepreneur Patrick Soon-Shiong scrapped the paper’s endorsement for president.

“In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up,” Garza told the Columbia Journalism Review she said.

“This is how I’m standing up.”

Last week, Soon-Shiong told the newspaper’s editorial board through the outlet’s editor that the LA Times would not endorse Harris or former President Donald Trump, which was first reported by Semafor.

A draft of a proposed editorial giving Harris the nod was even written by Garza before it was called off, the Columbia Journalism Review reported.

She told the journalistic-centric outlet she didn’t think the endorsement would change voters’ minds because the LA Times is a “very liberal paper” and most of its readers are Harris supporters.

I can’t remember when I last purchased a newsPAPER.
I come from a family that had three newspapers delivered to the house, but I have changed with the times. I had no choice
Not to mention, when newspapers are offered for sale, these days, it will be $5. for what looks like the two page section of Wednesday Grocery Sales pages.

I’m sure she made a boatload of money for performing a fairly easy job. Once at least a semblance of normal life is restored under President Trump, and all her former co-workers are spending their boatloads of money in a newly vibrant economy, she’s going to feel like an idiot. Which she is.

I like this new owner. Sounds like he wants to sell newspapers to people other Vegans.

Nothing I admire more than a leftist who falls on the sword of his own idiot ideology. Smells like ..... victory.

I suspect he thinks that Trump will win.

From the article: Mariel Garza is leaving her post at the Times because...

...the payoff she was due to receive is now off the table since the L.A. Slimes isn't endorsing the globalists' candidate.

I suspect he thinks most Harris supporters can’t read anyway.

Oh dear. Where will an anti-Trump news media person ever find a job?

At the Feasterville McDonald's...

“She told the journalistic-centric outlet she didn’t think the endorsement would
change voters’ minds because the LA Times is a “very liberal paper” and most
of its readers are Harris supporters.”

Wonder if she ever thought of doubling her subscription base by being a
“neutral” paper, one that caters to all not some.
