Los Angeles Times Owner Fires Far-Left Editorial Board – Wants ‘Factual and Balanced Coverage’ of Trump Presidency
X via GP ^ | 11//12/2024 | Ben Kew

The owner of the Los Angeles Times has fired his entire editorial board as he seeks to return the paper to its journalistic roots.

Posting on the X platform, the paper’s owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, said he was proud to have posted a letter opposing attacks on white women for voting for Donald Trump and that the paper would be undergoing some major changes moving forward:

Proud that we posted this letter from one of our readers on X. When the President has won the vote of the majority of Americans then ALL voices must be heard. Opinions are just that

Patrick Soon-Shiongs daughter is a leftist wack job. She claimed she along with her father made the decision for the paper to not make a Presidential endorsement. Her father said she had no such say in the decision. Would love to be a fly on the wall come Christmas dinner at the Shiongs house.

I’m suspicious of this sudden change, but will try and remain optimistic.

This is great news. A major factor in Trump’s victory was the expansion of alternative media, including Musk’s ownership of Twitter-x and Trump’s Podcast with Joe Rogan. Plus Truth Social. The Republicans have to keep curtailing the influence of the mainstream media on low-information voters. Hopefully, Bezos will begin to bring more balance to the WaPo.

That seems to be a rule in business. Brands can go downscale and more mass market, but not upscale.

News is no longer news, it’s mostly Leftist activists pretending to be news. They haven’t fooled many.

WHERE is he going to find these unicorns? The Left are fundamentally dishonest. They lie with ease and impunity. The only thing to do would be to hire a JD Vance type editor who would then pepper any article or report with Ed. Notes, a thing which would undermine the rest of the staff as liars. Ain’t gonna happen.

Do people still read newspaper editorials? That seems a thing of the past.

It’s too late. The so-called profession of journalist is dead. I trust Joe Blow with his i-phone posting on X more than I do any journalist.

Great comment phil. YOU get it.

Bezos would never let warehouse managers run Amazon for the sake and benefit of delivery people rather than for the benefit of customers. I have no idea why he's letting in house 'journalists' make calls that slap the faces of their customers. My bet is Bezos will also step in and assist with saving the industry.

It’s not about grammar, we’re looking at manifest brain damage.
