- 0:04Speaker 1: LA Times declines to endorse Kamala Harris after backing Dems
- 0:08Speaker 1: since two thousand and eight. Doesn't that seem strange? Is
- 0:12Speaker 1: this a sign? Is this another sign? Is this providence
- 0:16Speaker 1: at work again? Because why wouldn't the LA Times endorse
- 0:19Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. Obviously, if they're going to endorse anybody, it's her.
- 0:22Speaker 1: But let's take a look. The owner of the paper
- 0:25Speaker 1: is involved. The Los Angeles Times will not be endorsing
- 0:28Speaker 1: a candidate for the twenty twenty four election, after endorsing
- 0:32Speaker 1: a Democratic a Democratic presidential candidate in every election since
- 0:37Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. According to a report from Semaphore,
- 0:41Speaker 1: the owner of the LA Times has blocked the outlet
- 0:44Speaker 1: from endorsing a candidate this year. The LA Times editorial
- 0:48Speaker 1: board publish its endorsements for the twenty twenty four election
- 0:52Speaker 1: cycle last week. However, an endorsement for president was not
- 0:56Speaker 1: part of it. You've also got like the Teamster not
- 1:00Speaker 1: endorsing Kamala Harris. They got the Firefighters Union not endorsing
- 1:05Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. I mean they're supposed to support Democrats. LA
- 1:11Speaker 1: Times unions supposed to support the Democrat that's supposed to
- 1:15Speaker 1: be automatic. So what happened. The editorial board was reportedly
- 1:21Speaker 1: preparing to endorse a Democrat for the presidency, and just
- 1:25Speaker 1: yet any Democrat, by the way, but Biden Harris didn't.
- 1:29Speaker 1: They could have just got rid of har They could
- 1:31Speaker 1: get rid of Harris and just put a can of
- 1:32Speaker 1: tomato soup up and they will they will want to
- 1:36Speaker 1: endorse that. If they're going to endorse anybody, they're going
- 1:38Speaker 1: to endorse the cana soup. So they were. The editorial
- 1:42Speaker 1: board was reportedly preparing to endorse a Democrat for this
- 1:47Speaker 1: election as well. However, the executive editor for the paper
- 1:51Speaker 1: informed staff that the paper would not do so for
- 1:53Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. According to Semaphore, the owner of the
- 1:58Speaker 1: La Times is doctor Patrick Soon Young, who gained his
- 2:02Speaker 1: wealth in the healthcare industry. So it sounds like it's
- 2:05Speaker 1: coming from the owner, which I don't understand why they
- 2:10Speaker 1: wouldn't he would direct them to not endorse anyone, because,
- 2:14Speaker 1: I mean, the La Times is just a far left rag.
- 2:17Speaker 1: It's just totally it's total propaganda. I mean, these are
- 2:21Speaker 1: this is the newspaper that said that they called Larry
- 2:25Speaker 1: Elder the black face of white supremacy in the recall election.
- 2:30Speaker 1: So it seems strange to me. I mean, what would
- 2:32Speaker 1: be the problem? I mean, he owns that paper, and
- 2:35Speaker 1: the paper is just a far left propaganda rag La Times.
- 2:40Speaker 1: The La Times endorsements page did not explain the reason
- 2:44Speaker 1: behind not endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, which would have
- 2:47Speaker 1: been the likely outcome had the outlet come out to
- 2:50Speaker 1: endorse a candidate. Of course, it would have been that
- 2:53Speaker 1: that's who They weren't going to endorse Trump for God's sakes, obviously,
- 2:57Speaker 1: the editorial board endorses select choosing the most consequential races
- 3:03Speaker 1: in which to make recommendations. We do not comment on
- 3:06Speaker 1: internal discussions or decisions about editorials or endorsements. A spokesperson
- 3:12Speaker 1: for The La Times told Semaphore when the outlet reached
- 3:15Speaker 1: out for comment. So, I don't know. It's a bit strange,
- 3:18Speaker 1: isn't it. As the owner of this paper had some
- 3:21Speaker 1: late change of heart. It seems strange because all that
- 3:23Speaker 1: the La Times publishes is just leftist propaganda, so it
- 3:28Speaker 1: would seem perfectly natural to endorse her. It would be
- 3:32Speaker 1: it perfectly in line with everything else they do. So
- 3:36Speaker 1: I don't know. Strange. What is it? Rosie says maybe
- 3:39Speaker 1: a sign, probably leverage. I don't know, possibly anyway, that's
- 3:44Speaker 1: all I'm going to say about that. Please like, share,
- 3:47Speaker 1: and subscribe. Subscribing really helps me out. I thank you
- 3:50Speaker 1: for that. I will see you next time MS
