That’s it: #Bezos has now taken personal control over WaPo’s #editorial position. I’m out. Cancelled my #WaPo sub, which I’ve had for about five years now.

The #LATimes is next on the block. It’s the only major Southern California paper in existence at this point, but no news may indeed be preferable to fucked-up, #fascism-serving, #billionaire-hugging alternative “news”.

Scoop from last night's @semafor.com newsletter: A veteran Republican strategist who ran a pro-#Trump super PAC is privately recruiting conservative pundits to join the LA Times, and advising owner Patrick Soon-Shiong on how to remake the paper's opinion section

🚨 owner of the #LATimes just invited the king of the crypto bros #MarcAndreessen, a man whose VC fund #a16z has backed innumerable scams in all shades of fraud (see: #Yotta and #Synapse most recently) in addition to companies that facilitate incredible amounts of Russian #moneylaundering to join the editorial board.

andreessen spewed so many outright lies on #JoeRogan a few weeks ago that it kind of spawned an entire cottage industry of line by line takedowns of his bullshit: universeodon.com/@cryptadamist

seems like the kind of guy #journalism needs right now

Tweet by Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong: Is this you, @pmarca? Are you hedging your endorsements? But you’re not the only one who makes mistakes. I’ve made some—like endorsing Karen Bass. And that’s a big reason we didn’t endorse Kamala. I don’t have the luxury of a hedge. Now is the time for leadership, and I’ll welcome you to join our editorial board to be a part of the solution. I hope you will.

LA Times was shamed into printing an article (buried) about their event causing a food illness outbreak by LA Taco.

More Than 70 People Reported Feeling Ill After Eating Oysters At L.A. Times ‘101 Restaurants’ Food Event

Ragusano is disappointed that the L.A. Times didn’t publicly disclose that there was an outbreak at their event. “Obviously they’re not going to print it in their paper,” Ragusano said. “But they‘re a newspaper and newspapers are supposed to share the news. This is how people usually find out about something like this,” she added. “It's ironic because it happened to them.”

Asking those who are subscribers - why? Subscribers are literally financing dishonest, corrupt, right-wing media. You’re legitimising lies. You are helping #Trump and #maga.

"Owner of the Los Angeles Times, Patrick Soon-Shiong "has instituted a new policy that prohibits editorials containing criticism of the president-elect unless they are presented side-by-side with another opinion piece representing the 'opposing view.’”

#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."

"Dr. Soon-Shiong, who bought The Times in 2018, said on the podcast that he had been working with a team to create the so-called bias meter using technology he had been building in his health care businesses."

nytimes.com/2024/12/06/busines

We have all been reading about technology in the health "care" (care in quotation marks b/c it's not care) business. Is this AI? United Health Care's AI approach was wrong 90% of the time.

The New York Times · L.A. Times Owner Plans ‘Bias Meter’ Next to CoverageBy Katie Robertson

(((Cindy Weinstein)))

Righteous: "But the cost of alliance with an important national institution that has such an important role to play in pushing back against authoritarian rule, but declines to do so for spurious and selfish reasons, feels too great. And Soon-Shiong’s conscious pattern of détente with Trump has in fact recast the paper’s core identity to one of appeasement with an authoritarian madman. I am loath to affiliate with that identity in any way." #HarryLitman
