The daughter of The Los Angeles Times’s owner said the newspaper chose not to endorse Kamala Harris for president because of the candidate’s continued support for Israel in its war in Gaza.

Trump said:
a) tariffs we pay when purchasing imported products will go into a big federal government fund account that will be much bigger numbers than we’re talking about here, and
b) the big federal government fund account will pay everybody’s child costs.
Trump did not say:
how a) becomes b).
Thereby tacitly supporting the guy who is the best friend of autocrat Bibi Netanyahu, who wants to wipe out Gaza so Jared Kushner can build his overpriced condo complexes there. Swift move, LA Times
If only they had a means to make that concern public. Like, a means to communicate with the masses. It’s too bad the second largest city in America doesn’t have a newspaper. I bet they’d give above the fold space for someone as high profile as her.
What about Trump’s continued support for the war and his little chats with Netanyahu in which he told him to do whatever he needs to do? How does she reconcile that?
Obviously, she's forgotten Kevin Merida having to step down, because of the former editor's decision to restrict journalists signing an open letter which condemned Israel’s response to the Oct 7. And her father unsuccessfully trying to land a role in the last Trump administration.
Sure, except it was reported by non-trump reporters when it happened that he has been trump’s supporter since he first ran. All you do is try to appease trump. Only a fool would think trump would be better on Gaza.
The newspaper didn't decide not to endorse her - the owner of the newspaper decided it. If the import of that distinction isn't clear, we have a problem.
Let me know if you need me to explain it to you. Or ask pretty much anybody.
This is why the far right wins. While everyone else is full of doubt and confusion and searching for reasons why not to take a side, the right-wing zealots have no morals or questions, they just charge ahead, and help their corrupt leaders grab power.
Trump's also made it clear he'll allow Netanyahu free rein to continue the genocide. Gross (but on-brand) of the owner to go for a left-dividing, insincere response to cover his own corruption.
Trump has fantasized openly about using nuclear weapons, or at least "testing" them. I think we can absolutely take it seriously that he would support people he considers allies if they wanted to bomb countries they're fighting with.
They're really absurd part is that this shit never works. As soon as you show weakness, the authoritarian will always want more. First it's not endorsing a candidate. Then it's favorable coverage. Then it's firing a reporter...
Imagined headlines during a dreaded Trump Presidency:
Massive So California earthquake, many dead, injured, or missing
Hurricane Alan pummels Texas while Bernice hits Florida
Mississippi River floods….
Trump “Truth”:TOP STORY SHOULD PRAISE TRUMP FOR LAW BANNING CLEAN ENERGY! ARREST THOSE TRAITORS!
We know this is definitely true because of the LA Times' proven track record of hard-hitting pro-palestinian news coverage, who among us hasn't seen that constant stream of LA Times articles criticizing the Israeli government and calling for an end to genocide
Apparently the daughter of one of the biggest newspapers in the US is ignorant about Trump’s blind support of Netanyahu. Ignorant billionaires using their wealth to define the future of the US… Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves.
And you know there’s some dipshit elbow deep in cocaine in an office somewhere, rubbing his hands together, so proud of this genius plan — “those dumb lefties will totally fall for it”
She is clearly lying, and she knows she is lying. Kamala Harris has publicly stated over and over she wants a ceasefire in Gaza. This was a craven decision to avoid retribution if Trump wins which she will likely not face because of her net worth. That will not be the case for everyday Americans.
Coming so late in the day, after they’re losing subscribers, panic stations, say something “credible” - please don’t treat your remaining subscribers like mugs?
Still not the point. Choose a candidate to endorse. From those available. Even if you feel you are endorsing the lesser of the evils. Choose. That’s the assignment. LAT flunked the assignment.
They're full of 💩. Daddy oligarch wants to work for Trump and expects our "press" to conveniently leave this little detail out of their crap headlines. ⬇️
Even if this WERE the case (which I highly doubt) it does not negate the fact that the owner interfered in an editorial decision to quash something he disagreed with.
Bulls**t! He’s tongue tied?
His daughter has to speak for him?
HE ENDORSED TRUMP.
Why? Greed & a desire for Trump to appoint him to a Gov’t post.
He made contributions to the Hillary in 2016 for the same reason, it didn’t work out.
Why did he suppress the series comparing Harris & Trump positions?
"...he then met Donald Trump in an unsuccessful attempt to secure a job in his administration. In those 2017 discussions with Trump and his advisers, Soon-Shiong was seeking an appointment as Trump’s “health care tsar ”, a senior role with broad authority over health in the US"
She's not involved in the paper (as your own article reports) AND you didn't do any kind of vetting of her claim so I guess the NYT's purpose these days is to just uncritically report anything some rich girl says to defend her dad? That's not humiliating for you or anything.
There were Jews who were supporters of Hitler and many ordinary Jews who voted for him.
That should be a lesson to anyone supporting Trump just to spite Biden over Gaza.
I'ts amazing, the 3 biggest papers in the country are effectively dead and buried now as journalism outlets. Sulzberger killed the Times a while back and Soon-Shiong and Bezos had theirs fully commit suicide this week. They're all gone forever and all in fealty to the Trumper. RIP Fourth Estate.
Horseshit! Fascism will affect our lives. Lack of abortion & other womens' Healthcare affect OUR lives & our children's lives. We need to make sure our issues are handled before telling another nation how to do it's business. Trump is a terrible human being. He's a criminal. Stop making excuses

Totally makes sense not to include the reason for his decision in the statement about why he made his decision.
a) tariffs we pay when purchasing imported products will go into a big federal government fund account that will be much bigger numbers than we’re talking about here, and
b) the big federal government fund account will pay everybody’s child costs.
Trump did not say:
how a) becomes b).
What disingenuous bullshit.

Surely they've been doing that right
Which is why they’re not endorsing Trump.
Literally no-one believes this smoke.
Dude. We are not stupid.
'Do what you have to do,' Trump tells Netanyahu after +42,000 killed https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-do-what-you-have-to-do---trump-tells-netanyahu-after--42-00
As lies go, that's easily one of the most transparent we've seen lately. But, hey, billionaires, right ...?

Donald Trump and Jared Kushner's Abraham Accords Set The Stage For Today's Israel-Gaza Conflict, It Was An Utter Failure!
