Who Keeps LA Times Functioning?
00:05:57
|
|
| The owner of the Los Angeles Times told the Los Angeles Times not to endorse anybody. | |
| Los Angeles Times is a left-wing publication. | |
| That's all it is. | |
| It's nothing more than that. | |
| It was once. | |
| I wrote for it for many years. | |
| They actually... | |
| Huh? | |
| Well, that was before my time when it was conservative, but it was conservative, yeah. | |
| But it's become a left-wing ragsheet. | |
| And the amazing thing is, people on the left don't think that way. | |
| They think, great, we have turned a newspaper into a left-wing voice. | |
| That's it. | |
| We represent the Democratic Party and it's left-wing. | |
| So the owner, for reasons I have no inkling with regard to, said, don't endorse any candidate. | |
| Of course they were going to endorse Kamala Harris. | |
| I mean, all the news items, the news pieces, and the commentaries, opinion pieces, are all pro-Kamala Harris, pro-Democrat. | |
| So they're resigning. | |
| The head of the editorial page resigned, and now two other... | |
| Two other editors have resigned. | |
| It's so fascinating. | |
| If I were they, I would not resign. | |
| I mean, what difference does it make whom the LA Times endorses? | |
| Its readers are left-wing, and everything it stands for is left-wing. | |
| Is there anybody who would read an LA Times editorial endorsement? | |
| Because the columnists are all endorsing her. | |
| So who reads their editorials anyway? | |
| Not many people. | |
| And by the way, I get the LA Times, just for the record, because I feel I'm obligated to know what the left says. | |
| But let's say I were running a conservative newspaper, and the owner said, Don't endorse any presidential candidate. | |
| You think I'd resign? | |
| No, what I would say is, okay, we won't have a... | |
| So we'll just keep having editorials, or excuse me, columns written on behalf of the Republicans and on our news items. | |
| No, no, no, if I were conservative running a newspaper. | |
| I don't understand why they resigned. | |
| Oh, we want to have independent control of the paper. | |
| Okay, it sounds great, but there is an owner. | |
| If it weren't for the owner, you wouldn't be in business. | |
| Nobody buys the paper. | |
| That's the joke. | |
| These people should be bringing candy to this owner. | |
| He keeps a piece of crap in business. | |
| It has virtually no advertising. | |
| Look up its circulation. | |
| I'm so curious what its circulation is. | |
| No young people read it. | |
| Thanks to this owner, it's so fascinating. | |
| The hubris of leftists is beyond belief. | |
| I'm glad they quit. | |
| Now they don't have a job. | |
| They don't deserve to have a job. | |
| They've ruined the newspaper. | |
| But from their perspective, all they should have vis-a-vis the owner is gratitude. | |
| It's not the free market that keeps the Los Angeles Times functioning or the Washington Post functioning. | |
| It's Jeff Bezos who keeps the Washington Post functioning. | |
| And it's this Chinese-American, I think, is that right? | |
| Taiwanese-American, is that what he is? | |
| Who keeps the Los Angeles Times functioning. | |
| So we told them not to write an endorsement. | |
| Like, okay, fine. | |
| All right, big deal. | |
| It's so fascinating. | |
| Good, I'm happy. | |
| They don't deserve jobs. | |
| These people have only done harm. | |
| They've ruined the newspaper. | |
| But it's... | |
| In gratitude, thy name is progressivism. | |
| Wow. | |
| In a message posted on X... On Wednesday afternoon, this is from the Hollywood Reporter. | |
| By the way, did they ever put out a piece on PragerU? | |
| They came and interviewed me. | |
| Times owner Sun Xiang said he had offered the editorial board the chance to write a factual analysis of all the positive and negative policies by each candidate during their tenures at the White House and how these policies affected the nation. | |
| That wasn't enough. | |
| Like they would write an objective analysis. | |
| He had also asked the editorial board to present their vision for how policies outlined during the candidates' campaigns might play out in the next four years if they were elected. | |
| That's a little more significant. | |
| In this way, with this clear and nonpartisan information, side by side, our readers could decide who would be worthy of being president for the next four years, he wrote. | |
| Okay, that's hilarious. | |
| I have no idea why the man sustains the LA Times. | |
| But as I said, these people who quit because he wanted them to write an analysis instead of an endorsement, do you understand what they're saying? | |

Jobs Gone Wrong

|
|
| We have contempt for you who made our jobs possible. | |
| Okay. | |
| I wonder what... | |
| I really would love to know where they'll end up. | |
| Will they end up, I don't know, at the Washington Post, at the Chicago Tribune, at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, or any other left-wing newspaper? | |
| Where will they end up? | |
| There are no jobs anymore for these people. | |
| Exactly! | |
| There are no jobs. | |
| That was why I asked it. | |
| It's not like it's a... | |
| A bull market for job seekers. | |
