LA Times owner asks editorial board to give a fair analysis of both Presidential candidates. They didn’t. He said no endorsement.
Soon-Shiong defended his decision on X, claiming that the editorial board was given an opportunity to present a balanced analysis of both candidates’ policies but chose to remain silent instead.
According to a rough estimate by Fox News, U.S. newspaper endorsements for the Democrat candidates have dipped by more than 60% compared to previous election cycles.
In 2016, more than 240 newspapers endorsed Hillary Clinton. 120 newspapers endorsed Biden. Now, in 2024, Harris has received fewer than 80 endorsements, a striking contrast to the full-throated support previously given to Democrat candidates.
