What it does is it shows the beauties of capitalism. She makes good money, gives it up and she’ll find good work somewhere else.

Oh what a country!

Well, at least she now has the time off to go to D.C. and celebrate with Kamala.

Fool or not, she actually did the right thing, better too quit than stay and undermine the new owners policies. Maybe she argued with the owner about what he wanted and she figured if she did what she wanted next time pushing her liberal twattle she would have been canned.

Not a very “wise latina with a compelling life story.” I guess she can get one of Gruesome Newsom’s 20 dollar an hour fries guy jobs at a fast food joint.

Any paper anywhere that endorses any candidate, left or right, should have all their reporters’ creds pulled and forfeit and no longer recognized at events the press covers or fed stories from government releases. Their job is to report, not choose sides. Same goes for tv as well IMO.

The LASlimes has been hard left for years. That it has decided not to endorse the D-CommieNazi ticket this year is very significant.
Perhaps the owner will also decide to release the tape of Obama’s antisemitic speech with a bunch of his bff pr-terrorist Moslem “activists?” Too late I understand. But still will be helpful for the sake of American history.

Good luck finding another overpaid editor job in another even more left-wing media platform.

I agree with you, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized it’s impossible for any news outlet to completely do this. The best remedy to this is a large healthy variety of news outlets. The internet has made it easier than ever to break the monopoly that these corporate media companies have had.

Garza: “And an endorsement was the logical next step after a series of editorials we’ve been writing about how dangerous Trump is to democracy, about his unfitness to be president, about his threats to jail his enemies. We have made the case in editorial after editorial that he shouldn’t be reelected.”

Soon-Shiong: “the Editorial Board was provided the opportunity to draft a factual analysis of all the POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE policies by EACH candidate during their tenures at the White House, and how these policies affected the nation” and that “instead of adopting this path as suggested, the Editorial Board chose to remain silent and I accepted their decision.”

So, the owner told them to write up editorials discussing pros and cons of each candidate and instead, they simply wrote rant after rant of “Trump is literally Hitler”.

The entire editorial staff should have been sacked for insubordination.

” . . . she actually did the right thing, . . .”

Agree. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen anybody in politics or the media resign on principle. I don’t like anything about the press or the LAT, but I have to admire the moral integrity of this woman. Usually, as you say, they hang on and take the paycheck while either doing nothing or undermining. Say, Brandon, for example.

She doesn’t realize that she is the real threat to democracy.

I will add that I never read any editorials as I feel about them as I do celebrities/athletes giving their opinion, I just really don’t care.

Resigning was his audition for bigger and better things in the dem propaganda operation. He’ll be well taken care of.
