    In January, executive editor Kevin Merida resigned after Soon-Shiong tried to block a story that accused one of his friends’ dogs of biting a woman in a Los Angeles park. Soon-Shiong, a doctor who made his fortune in biotechnology and associated himself with Donald Trump during his first presidency, denied the accusation.

    What a complete shitheel. Fuck this guy. I am so tired of billionaires controlling our media.

    I’m a big fan of the LAT. They publish some very well written articles. But this move just makes me sick. Just another case of some selfish rich a-hole not helping the world.

      The only cowardice is this is to avoid losing readers for endorsing Trump, so they don’t endorse Harris to benefit Trump in another minor way.
