LA Times withholds endorsement for POTUS.

[Dennis Donovan]

Again, the media, the people who own the media, *want* Trump to win and they’re doing what they can to make that happen.

Keith Boykin
The Los Angeles Times editorial board was preparing to endorse Kamala Harris for president, but then the owner of the paper ordered them not to make any endorsement in the most consequential election on the ballot.

1. Rich people are for Trump. Those tax cuts for them just amount of too much money to turn down.

17. All the money in the world doesnt prevent you

From falling out a window. Your money becomes their money so quickly. Putin proves that time and time again.

18. I'm sure Elon Musk doesn't think he will ever die.

2. The so-called journalists went to Bended Knee for the Billionaire Bro

who jerked their chain.

Sick shit. They are going to lose a lot of subscribers with this pathetic and dangerous whimp out.

4. It wasn't journalists.

It was the owner, as clearly noted in the post.

10. The journalists and editors of the Times have been fighting long and hard against the owner -- please don't blame them!

3. Shame on the owner of the LA Times.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

5. Wow.

Was considering subscribing. F that.

[LauraInLA]

12. At this point I'm still subscribing to support the reporters and editors. Btw, if you donate to local npr station kpcc,

You can get an LATimes subscription as your gift.

6. Just canceled the L.A. times

f the owner

9. I would do the same if I had a subscription!

11. At this point I'm still subscribing to support the reporters and editors.

7. There's only two things in the middle of the road.

White lines and dead possums.

[Mike Nelson]

8. I feel bad for the writers and workers...

... but, due to the owner, I'm done with the L.A. Times. They usually endorse, and this one should be easy.

[LauraInLA]

13. At this point I'm still subscribing just to support the reporters and editors.

[Wiz Imp]

14. Sheesh. why are they listening to the owner? Go ahead and run the endorsement anyway.

Where's their self respect? So saving the country isn't a good enough reason for those cowards to risk losing their job? They can always get another job. Once the country is gone, it's gone. Pathetic.

15. TY.. Amazing that NYT endorsed Kamala VP & Tim Walz Gov!

I can't imagine the majority of Angelinos are happy about this.

[BoomaofBandM]

16. Dr Patrick Soon-Shiong.

Interesting info on google. Seems like lots of employees laid off earlier this year and that they are losing readers. Another billionaire immigrant.

19. A LA Times endorsement for president is a non-event.

CA is going for Harris and the LA Times does not have a national reach. Only three newspapers have a significant national following: Wall Street Journal, NY Times, and Washington Post. The WSJ never endorses, the Times Harris and I don't know about the Post.
