Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the LA Times, has been promising to restore trust in media over the last few months. Instead, he has launched an escalating campaign of editorial interference that accomplishes exactly the opposite. First, he blocked the paper from publishing an endorsement of Kamala Harris. Then, he demanded to personally approve all op-ed headlines to avoid offending Elon Musk. He even proposed using AI to artificially balance opinion pieces with “the other side.”

They were straight up blue lives matter cunts during the BLM protests. And they shat all over Occupy too. Doesn't matter who owns them. They have never been worthy.

My proposed title and my opening and closing lines do not leave my stance on RFK Jr remotely ambiguous. He’s dangerously ignorant, egomaniacal, and effectively a mass murderer in waiting. He has no business being anywhere near HHS.

Oof. You can read the original version here.
