Shoutout to the Los Angeles Times reporters who are doing essential journalism under very difficult circumstances.
They’ve dropped their paywall, but their ongoing coverage is a good reminder of why local newsrooms need support — and what we lose when those outlets are hollowed out.

According to Trump Science in 2020 it was supposed to get cooler in California.
Trump Science is also known as 'Lies benefiting Billionaires'.
The fossil fuel industry billionaires donating to Trump agrees with him by the way.

Sorry for the good people who still work there.
She praised local news as an essential service to keep her informed and safe.
Oh, look to your own paper, man!
They're full of shit and it's incredibly dangerous the lies they're spreading.
They deserve a better owner.
The reporters are fine, they aren't the problem, I'm sure they do a good job. But why should anyone support ever more misinformation?
Dumb rich people buying them is just an after-effect.
There’s nothing worse than untreated addiction,
They’ll burn your country down! #Firebug45
, sad to here what's happening in calif
Very stale, statistical, and without humanity. Wasn't it really Ai-generated, I'll support media that stands with their reader's interests, and all others left to their fate.

I would say the journalists need to start their own paper with whatever threads of democracy remain, but the King will likely shut them down if they write anything unflattering about him.
Never again.
"the paper is controlled by a rich evil asshole South African bastard who has no genuine interest in journalism, but rather an agenda for controlling news" ?
I'm with the "fuck the LA Times" posters elsewhere on this thread.
My LA Times boycott continues
There are many independent journalists doing excellent work

Of humans and animals!
That’s pretty much what you’re fucking saying
for what reason
Because he’s a fucking Maga Trump asshole that’s why and screw that fucking paper
not in America, Trump has stated that all Democrats should burn
NOT MY PRESIDENT
One request, more information about assisting the most vulnerable before there is a threat of eminent danger.
The owner,,, not so much.
Billionaire-owned media outlets are STILL the problem, fire coverage or not.
Just a reminder for everyone to go ahead and cancel those news subscriptions we all signed up for in 2016 that got bought by some assholes who are now pushing the Rapin Racist on us.
If you gotta have them at least still cancel and sign up for free through your local library.
Maybe they should stop sending reporters to diners in Ohio to listen to another Trump voter or letting journos keep important info for a year-too-late book
That is, owners may have other owners as friends and acquaintances.
Reporters may have more exposure to the general public.

That said, hopefully this will make him change his tune. People want (AND NEED) the facts, not "BOTH SIDES!!!!!!!!!!!"
The paper’s billionaire owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong went on X the other day and lied about the fire budget being slashed
Not one of the scores of stories on that page mentioned the actual reason for the ferocity & extent of these unprecedented fires.
Seems the ‘why’ should be at the core of what a good journo would do in such a situation, even if it angered belligerent folks.
CEO of a nonprofit I understood this.
That assertion is a lie.
F the la times. Your difficult circumstances can eat my 🍑.
Every staff member at la times is sitting on the same train as all the other nazi sympathizers.
LA Times billionaire owner killed op-ed that was critical of Trump’s cabinet picks, report says | The Independent https://search.app/PiVv5CpGfYidGn9n9
The @latimes.com and @washingtonpost.com refused to publish their editorial board’s recommendations for President. Great editors and reporters resigned. Support those who resigned by boycotting WaPo and LATimes.

In the retail industry we used to call that "A lost leader", which may apply in this case too!
LA Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong is a total scumbag. He and his Jew hating daughter have run the LA Times into the ground.
