The owner of the paper should see sales of his publication drop substantially.

With all pages blank, except for this statement on each page, in large, bold type:

"This page is intentionally left blank."

distortions and manipulations you are potentially being exposed to every day. Is that the sort of "news" you want?

the oligarch speaks.

Trying to make sense of your post.

Massive corporations controlling the "news"/message is a cancer on democracy. Billionaires buying elected representatives and media platforms is becoming the norm. It's on the ballot like never before. Government is the ONLY thing that can rein in this massive concentration of wealth. Repubs encourage it. Dems have a generational struggle ahead to reverse this trend. People vs unlimited money. No guarantees as who will prevail. Nov 5th is a good start.

Your options were greater when there was more competition. Journalistic integrity was paramount. Editors weren't just rubber stamps in independent newsrooms. Yeah, I know...and a quarter would buy you a cup of coffee...

It was the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that allowed the corporate monopolies of news stations and that was promoted and signed by Bill Clinton. As far as I'm concerned, no corporation or individual should own more than one news outlet. Even that wouldn't help the fact of individual newspapers being controlled by billionaires, though.

it'll be national news when everyone gets fired.

They need to defend their right and publish the endorsement.

A search of the owner shows he wants a role in a Trump administration, health care czar

In this case the owner of the L. A. Times.

That's awful.

Time for folks to cancel their subscriptions then.

And thank you for the clarification on this.

I hope he remembers his neutrality . . .

Hope that magat moran brought his diving gear.

Musk, Thiel and now Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong.
I guess they are still pissed about losing apartheid there and have plans to bring it back here in the States..

Need to raise taxes so they don't have money to cause mischief with.

Their Apartheid acquaintances lost Big Time in South Africa from being the minority.

I've tried to override the default in settings, but to no avail. I looked this guy up a year ago and felt comforted by his bio. But knowing he has a similar path as Musk is upsetting. There is a 19 year age difference. And his work is extremely admirable...

"American businessman, investor, medical researcher, philanthropist, and transplant surgeon. He is the inventor of the drug Abraxane, which became known for its efficacy against lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer."

"He has committed to the Giving Pledge and has pledged to give away at least half of his wealth to philanthropy."

I think he romanticizes the Third Reich rather than Apartheid. One and the same really.

South Africa for a while.

Makes sense... lol.

VP Harris & Gov Tim Walz in Spite of his Authoritarian Bullshit!

The voters will have something to say about that!!!!!! VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For them.. This is a People Powered Election For VP Harris and Gov Tim Walz & Democracy!

when the paper is censored? This is a disgrace. Much like Elon and X.

It is not journalism. I have degrees in both Journalism and K-12 education. What is happening in journalism today is the equivalent of a school principal telling teachers that they can't explain concepts to their students. For informational purposes, there are "scripts" in teachers' textbooks that tell them what to say to students when they teach. But NO good teacher limits themselves to that. When students don't understand, teachers access the problem and adjust accordingly. So while a principal could cover themselves by saying that if you read the script and nothing else you are technically "teaching", it would be real instruction in name only. And that's what's going on in too much of journalism today.

Time to put these oligarch's out of business.

we have to win, we just have to-

people like Musk, Thiel, and the Owner of LA Times hopefully will choke on that greed.

Stop reading and watching MSM.

owners will fire anyone in their company/paper/channel who goes against their politics
and all the people working for said owner know it

that is how the press becomes biased

it's ok to have biased press if reporters/outlets are free to express their own biases and it's ok for owners to direct those biases but it's not ok when there are only 15 individual people who own/control 90% of all media in the country. There should be as many independent owners of media as there are varied points of view. Ownership should be limited to the billionaire class.

And Charles Manson.
Your point?

Point is that facts matter.

according to the Constitution.

After stopping the Post. Years ago I dropped NY Times over Judith Miller.

But not now. Wonder what the Editorial Board will do...

And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
'Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want

John Mayer

I mean as popular as the print media is these days, not sure anyone will notice any kind of endorsement.

and then broadcast the RW shenanigans far and wide.

... to be revived in USA? Stay tuned.
