So sad that my paper runs an opinion piece with this glib assertion: "The establishment censors ended up stifling discussion of the lab leak theory, a scenario for COVID-19 origin that seems most likely true." Says who? We used to be more rigorous than that. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... - ThreadSky

I recently discontinued my Times subscription after 40+ years. I have been following you forever. I really miss my Sunday ritual but I could no longer tolerate the interference by the owner/oligarch. I will greatly miss you and my "regulars". Thanks for your years as a warrior for women/children

As an LA Times recipient, I share your disdain.

Sad, indeed. The pandering to the Clown in Chief continues.

Agreed. My 60+ years as a reader and subscriber are coming to an end once my paid year runs out. Investing my reading time and resources into journalism not controlled by wealthy supplicants bending their collective knees.

And who are these "everyday moms" of which the headline speaks?

mitix.bsky.social•29 days ago

Everyday moms are afraid of him and the rest of this administration.

Your paper is run by a toxic billionaire who platforms Scott Jennings. As someone I greatly respect, you should leave it. They’re going to force you out one way or another anyway. And I’d burn it down on the way out.

Your paper is maga now.

Wow. Lee Fang used to be a good source. Sad to see he’s gone the way of Taibi, and Greenwald.

Yep. Walter Kirn, Aaron Mate, even former comedian Jimmy Dore. Something turned them. Is there any reliable news other than NPR and The National?

indepinla.bsky.social•31 days ago

NPR isn’t totally unbiased. They take plenty of corporate cash: Progressive insurance, Subaru, Northrop Grumman, etc… Look for a Pacifica radio station - financed only by listener donations.

I seriously screamed a bit out loud when I read this earlier today. It’s so so bad. Really *trying* to keep my subscription active.

desiringmachine.bsky.social•32 days ago

I unsubscribed, and I’m sad about it because the Times has done and still does some great reporting but knowing decisions about what to report are influenced by what might appease Cheeto Mussolini means I can’t trust the paper anymore.

We all need to listen more to scientists, not influencers
