There's a simple solution. Soon-Shiong could buy the Epoch Times and rename it LATimes (MAGA Edition).

But this is America and he is a billionaire. Ergo he is smart with good ideas. Staff should follow Harry Litman out the door and readers should begin their exodus. Walk away and leave SS and Bezos holding their latest plaything.

Just waiting for that clown to restore "True Industrial Freedom" to the masthead of that propaganda rag.

Congratulations to Soon-Shiong. He has invented he-said/she-said journalism. I imagine his mother must be quite proud.

I started reading the LA Times with my father in 1964. It came with toast, 2 poached eggs and fresh squeezed orange juice from the tree in the back yard. I've moved away but am still thankful for the happy memories when the family read The Paper together every morning. R.I.P. old friend.

Soon-Shiong is going even further than the original Chandlers, whose ownership made the LAT the bastion of California Republicanism, back in the days of a solid state GOP majority.

So sad, not just for a declining readership, but especially for the reporters who still remain, and are trying to work whilst upholding journalistic standards.
