Harry Litman Resigns from LA Times, Protesting Owner's Alleged Trump Appeasement
Dec 6, 2024, 12:03 AM
Harry Litman, a former federal prosecutor and legal columnist for the Los Angeles Times, has resigned in protest against what he describes as the paper's 'repugnant and dangerous' actions to appease Donald Trump. Litman's resignation is directed at the owner of the LA Times, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, whom he accuses of currying favor with Trump out of concern for personal holdings. This decision comes amidst a broader context of Trump's influence on media and politics, with the LA Times facing criticism for its perceived capitulation to Trump's pressures.
