LA Times Faces Backlash Over Lack of Kamala Harris Endorsement


So, the LA Times decides to take a pass on endorsing Kamala Harris.

A surprise, to be sure.

And now their readers are in full meltdown mode—canceling subscriptions left and right.

Apparently, billionaire owner Patrick Soon-Shiong pulled the plug on the editorial board’s big Harris love fest.

Now Twitter is flooded with screenshots of canceled subscriptions.

One can’t but wonder what prompted this move. What does Soon-Shiong know that we don’t?

LA Times Readers Cancel Subscriptions in Backlash over No Kamala Harris Endorsement: ‘F**k You!’

Angry Los Angeles Times readers are cancelling their subscriptions after the left-wing newspaper refused to endorse any presidential candidate this election cycle, with some Angelenos calling out the newspaper’s owner, billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong, after he reportedly overruled his own editorial board’s plan to endorse Kamala Harris.

LA Times readers began posting screenshots of their cancelled subscriptions to social media Tuesday after the newspaper declined to back Kamala Harris. They include some prominent Hollywood figures — Mrs. Doubtfire screenwriter Randi Mayem Singer and Sex and the City actor Evan Handler.

 

Here’s a few angry tweets, including some from those in Hollywood:

If these people don’t like this, I can only wonder how they will feel in less than two weeks.

 

A curious move indeed by the LA Times.
