LA Times' Billionaire Owner Blocks 2024 Endorsements, Editor Resigns Over Kamala Harris
Oct 23, 2024, 09:32 PM
The Los Angeles Times' billionaire owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, has blocked the newspaper's editorial board from making any endorsements for the 2024 presidential election, a report claims. This decision has drawn significant criticism, particularly as the board was preparing to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Mariel Garza, the editorials editor, resigned in response to the owner's directive. Critics, including Jemele Hill, have condemned the move, calling it cowardly and hypocritical. The decision has also led to a backlash from readers, with some canceling their subscriptions. The L.A. Times will not endorse Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.
