Obeying in advance on crack.

Billionaire owner of the LA Times spiked the paper’s endorsement of Harris, now filling the paper’s editorial board with right-wing hacks

There is nothing thoughtful about Scott Jennings

Well, 1 down & 1 to go!
I can’t stand Jennings and Urban. Being R doesn’t make you smarter than anyone, just cocky.

Ugh. I got so tired of his whiny, condescending (especially to women!) commentary on CNN before the election - I actually messaged CNN and said he was driving viewers like me away. But - they probably don’t care!

Buy that man a f*cking editor or, at least, a proofreader. If that's a taste of the writing quality the public can expect from his paper, we'd be better off using it as tp.

"Thoughtful and balanced view" from Scott Jennings? He looks the part, but as soon as his lips move you know he is a right-wing disinformation artist.

Soon all the billionnaire newspaper owners will be filling their editorial pages with MAGA celebrities to please Trump in order to keep their publishing licence, then will be shocked when all the liberal readers pull their subscriptions. And MAGA don't read, so... good luck with that.

katyys.bsky.social•86 days ago

I could be wrong here.. but my gut says that liberals Dems have more money to buy papers, have the ability to read words, and will not continue to subscribe. So they are banking on MAGAt to pay the bills? Have they seen MAGAt? Do they seem like the kind that read newspapers?

rumawalker.bsky.social•86 days ago

The problem is not MAGAts subscribing to these newspapers, but rather left-leaning pro-democracy current subscribers (with common sense and integrity) being slowly brainwashed into magats…

katyys.bsky.social•86 days ago

If that was true.. how much luck have Dems had changing MAGAts beliefs? It’s a business in order to stay in business they need advertising and advertising needs to see readership. I could be wrong, but I don’t think they survive catering to the right..

rumawalker.bsky.social•86 days ago

Chances are the left-leaning media that runs now in beelines to kiss the ring will not gain as many right-wing readers as they might lose lef-leaning ones. So again, their business is gonna crash eventually.

rumawalker.bsky.social•86 days ago

I’m not saying that some MAGAts won’t start reading these newspapers. Again, this not the issue for the surviving of democracy. The issue is that there won’t be any sane media left to report non-biased and critically on all the right-wing maga shit that is about to hit the fan.

chefinthevineyard.bsky.social•86 days ago

Insightful, they won't pay, and worst, these jokers will break the debt ceiling. Tariffs created the Great Depression. It would help if people read before they voted.

stevencal03.bsky.social•86 days ago

That's a good point.

katyys.bsky.social•86 days ago

And I’ve seen the writings on the right wing.. and the things they push are unhinged and they sound unhinged and IMO they aren’t super great writers.. so IDK.. how will the paper survive?

stevencal03.bsky.social•86 days ago

So many newspapers are on life support as it is. I don't mind another person's viewpoint in a column. But Scott Jennings? And right after suppressing the editorial board's endorsement of Harris? The paper's owner is hastening the LA Times' death.

martinrayner.bsky.social•86 days ago

What a pity given the LAT was, once upon a time, a pretty decent paper. Adding inveterate lying liar & shameless right-wing hack Scott F-ing Jennings to its editorial board is yet another nail in the coffin of this now hopelessly doomed vestige of the craven legacy media.
