  1. This person, who is blaming #DEI for the #fire fighting in #LA, is the latest addition to the #LATimes editorial board. Nauseating.

    If you haven't canceled your subscription to #PatrickSoonShiong's campaign to undermine #democracy through #media #disinformation, now might be the right time.

  3. #Journalism, or what once was journalism, is now semantic muzak. The sharp edges of fact are being worn down by fascism and gobsmacking amounts of money.

    "CNN’s Reliable Sources reported on Friday morning that besides Soon-Shiong spiking the editorial, several recent opinion section headlines were also “softened” or “made more bland” by editors concerned that “anything too harsh would get rejected” by the billionaire owner."

  5. And not to overlooked as we consider the Litman story:

    "Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Wednesday expressed his optimism about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's next term and suggested he would 'help' the Republican gut regulations."

    ~ Jessica Corbett

    It's all about the money, tax cuts and deregulation, for these men whose souls are shriveled like qwizened nuts.

  6. Journalist Harry Litman has announced his resignation as an editorial writer for Los Angeles Times after Patrick Soon-Shiong has made clear he intends to take the papper in a pro-Trump direction. Litman says,

    "The idea of balance is fundamentally misplaced when on one side of the balance is a sociopathic liar like Donald Trump."

  7. Harry Litman: “I have written my last op-ed for the Times. Yesterday, I resigned my position. I don’t want to continue to work for a paper that is appeasing Trump and facilitating his assault on democratic rule for craven reasons.”

  8. "It is possible to do meaningful journalism without being under the thumb of a conflicted billionaire. Independent outlets like ProPublica, 404 Media, the Marshall Project, the Texas Tribune, Mother Jones, the American Prospect, the Bulwark and, yes, Popular Information do it every day."

    ~ Judd Legum

    Legum provides links to each of those valuable sources of news commentary.

  9. "The actions of Bezos and Musk and Patrick Soon-Shiong shouldn’t shock anyone because—steady yourself—they like power and money.

    They will rationalize their choices, of course. But you’ll consistently find that that rationalization follows a simple formula: I am brilliant, only I can accomplish these things, and therefore whatever is best for me is best for everyone."

  10. "The members of the billionaire executive class have billed themselves as great men of history beyond scrutiny and reproach. This is the year that shattered the illusion. ...

    It’s more than past due time that we tore down these false and nonsensical myths about the executive god-kings in our midst."

    ~ Ross Rosenfeld

  11. "How did our country get so broken? In short, it broke when the billionaires broke it. Billionaires took over just enough of our legal system, and just enough of our media ecosystem, to give themselves more and more power over our political system while making it harder and harder for the rest of us to take that power back."

  12. Hard truth: Americans don't trust or need billionaires @lawdorknews I am not a billionaire. Ultimately it all seems somewhat circular 2 me when these men have amounts of $ they have. As #Musk #Bezos #patricksoonshiong have shown x & x again They are not here for us. What I do know & if Bezos can lecture us about journalism, I’ll take a few sec to lecture about #wealth accumulation is that they they should not be able to amass the $ power that they have been able to amass lawdork.com/p/opinion-the-hard

  13. I would like #EJCarroll, #RubyFreeman, #ShayeMoss, #CassidyHutchison, #LizCheney, #FaniWillis and so many more women to explain to #JeffBezos and #PatrickSoonShiong what courage is. These women have more strength in the fingernail of their little pinky than these frightened, greedy, and fascistic billionaires.

  15. Mariel Garza, editorials editor of the Los Angeles Times, resigned on Wednesday after the paper's billionaire owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, blocked the endorsement of Harris for president. I'm shocked another South African billionaire doesn't support a black woman for president, shocked I say.
