Summary
LA Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong reportedly killed an op-ed critical of President-elect Trump’s cabinet picks, demanding it be paired with an opposing viewpoint.
The editorial, which criticized controversial nominees like Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was replaced last-minute by a Trump-sympathetic column.
Soon-Shiong has faced staff backlash for pushing a more Trump-friendly editorial stance, including rejecting endorsements of Democratic candidates and hiring conservative voices.
His actions are part of a broader trend of billionaire media owners softening coverage of Trump, prompting resignations and subscriber losses at major outlets.
It’s not impossible to get rid of these fascist judges, there just needs to be enough political willpower. I wish I was more hopeful about that willpower coming forth.
I have 0 hope about any internal action against Trump or Russian owned Reps. I’ve seen 0 action that would indicate the willingness for that.
When Trump crashes the economy his cult will just continue blaming Dems and the “deep state” someone in the administration (besides Trump) will be made into a scapegoat and it’ll just continue on.
