Summary
LA Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong reportedly killed an op-ed critical of President-elect Trump’s cabinet picks, demanding it be paired with an opposing viewpoint.
The editorial, which criticized controversial nominees like Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was replaced last-minute by a Trump-sympathetic column.
Soon-Shiong has faced staff backlash for pushing a more Trump-friendly editorial stance, including rejecting endorsements of Democratic candidates and hiring conservative voices.
