Alongside its endorsement of Kamala Harris, the Los Angeles Times editorial board had also planned a multi-part series against Donald Trump before the whole thing was quashed by owner Patrick Soon-Shiong, TheWrap has learned.
According to internal memos viewed by TheWrap, the series, tentatively called “The Case Against Trump,” would have ran throughout this week. The endorsement of Kamala Harris would then have been published on Sunday.
However, Soon-Shiong ordered the cancellation 0f the series and the endorsement without explanation, current and now former staffers have confirmed, setting off a massive crisis for the 142-year-old paper.
And Klein, who also called Soon-Shiong a “chickens—,” stated plainly in a note explaining her resignation that “the board was not the one choosing to remain silent. He blocked our voice.”
I really want to read the planned editorial now.
Hey journalists, I’ve got an idea… form a new newspaper and tell your owner to go fuck themselves.
So, the L.A. Times, Washington Post and New York Times are now in conservative hands. Just like the takeover of the judiciary that the Heritage Foundation coordinated. If we can ever take back our government, we need to re-institute the Fairness Doctrine, ban foreign ownership of our media and strip citizenship from this guy, Elon Musk, and any naturalized citizen that works against the best interests of America.
You’d think that would be the problem, but the New York Times was run by a Jewish man during the Holocaust who buried the story to curry favor with the powers that be. He felt that at his level of capital, he’d be unlikely to suffer the way that German Jews were, even when Naziism became popular here, and therefore decided that covering up genocide was the safer bet for him politically and financially.
When it comes to this kind of shit, political affiliation is merely a symptom of the disease: being a fucking asshole. It turns out that the most important thing to the American media is money and power. Fuck the people.
Imagine a world where everyone have the class solidarity that the bourgeois have.
And that’s on top of Fox, CNN, Sinclair (40%? of local news), etc.

Always have been.
New York Times are now in conservative hands
The NYT is?
Now… now!? They’ve been doing that for centuries.
They should all start a new independent company called the Los Angeles Multiplier.
LAX for short?
No because they’re on the LAM from LA Times
Release it anyway. Do it in some medium other than the newspaper if you have to.
I think the really rich people want trump to win. Unfortunately because of that he probably will. I really hope not, but the oligarchy gets its way.
For the next two weeks, it’s propaganda, as it’s been for the last three decades, because they do need consent this time. But if Trump wins this one, then those in power won’t need that anymore.
But even when it’s propaganda, it’s strange just watching the effect of rich people’s influence pulling a hundred-million Americans’ opinions toward Trump. It’s like being able to see visible gravity, it seems so obvious when you can see it, but then you realize that those hundred-million people can’t see it or even understand it as it’s pulling them off the edge of a cliff.
