Neither Times (including the NYT here) nor the Post are reliable news orgs at this point. They are trading on outdated grace which is no longer earned.

This incident leaves the LA Times in an impossible position. How can readers trust anything published under its banner when its owner has demonstrated such willingness to corrupt the paper’s editorial integrity for his own political agenda?

They can’t, and shouldn’t bother trying.

That’s a freedom that the internet provides that too few people exercise. There are more than enough news sources out there, so there’s no reason for anyone to ever grant a single one of them a second chance.

Burn the LA Times to the ground. It’s no longer useful.

Oh that paper’s been a blue lives matter rag for a hot minute. It’s crazy how anyone ever trusted it ever.

The reform needed is money based at the corporate level. Watch episode 1 of The Pitt and listen to all the commentary about the system, including the talk with the administrator, happening around the medical cases. THAT is the stuff that needs fixing. “Boarders” as they talk about, are very real.

Reform involves breaking big pharma. Reform involves breaking the nonsensical pricing practices of insurance companies. A CT scan should have 1 price. Period. But it does not.

If Kennedy had his way in 2020, there’d be no vaccine. Hospitals would’ve shut down because healthcare workers likely would not have stayed without it. (Yes, a sliver of workers into nonsense and anti vax left, but let’s not inflate those numbers alongside the majority of doctors, nurses, and other staff.)

Kennedy reform involves snake oil and nonsense instead of actual medicine. Raw milk? Really?

Also, the LA Times has gone fascist.
