LA Times owner regrets endorsing Karen Bass for mayor: ‘Competence matters’

[DigitalDrifter]

Better late than never?
I like this line: "Soon-Shiong called out "professional politicians" whose only job is to run for office."

Pat Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Los Angeles Times, shared on Monday that he believed his paper's endorsement of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass during the 2022 mayoral campaign was "a mistake."

“So, at the L.A. Times, we endorsed Karen Bass. I think, right now, upfront, that’s a mistake, and we admit that,” Soon-Shiong said. “So, I thought it was very important early on for me to come out.”

It IS too late for the Times. They knew who and what she was before the election. She advocated for marxism.

Bass was a member of Congress and was vetted for VP. She is well qualified to be mayor of LA and it's time you white racists stopped this shit. The situation with these fires is complicated due to winds, and those winds have made it so they can't use planes or helicopters to drop water on them. It gets really old each time something like this happens that you sorry ignorant uneducated pieces of trash run your mouths about DEI when we have red states full of white mayors and governors who have done worse. You are the same piece of toilet crust who excused trumps absolute incompetence during a pandemic that resulted in 1 million deaths and millions more still suffering with the effects of long COVID.

The L.A. Times didn't know she was an incompetent Marxist when they endorsed her? Do they only do background checks on republicans?

You ignore the fact that the fires hit suburban towns surrounding LA with white mayors to talk about Bass because she's black. So stay in your place dumb Irish ho.

At least he refused to endorse Kamala Harris. He may not be completely lost.

I DGAF who Pat Soon Shiong is. You are the one talking about it, and you are the white racist who doesn't point out that fires burnt up towns around LA with white mayors and fired departments. This is nothing more than right-wing race baiting.

Could it be that it has nothing to do with racism, but the fact that Bass is a marxist?
Or perhaps she hasn't solved any of LA's problems?

You seem to be the "racist ho", dawg.

Creeptis is gonna be sad.....I don't think he's forgiven the LAT for not endorsing Harris yet.

She doesn't inspire confidence in her ability to get in front of these types of situations with rigorous planning and preparation before they happen. A reservoir was closed for cleaning? Fire hydrants running out of water? Cutting the fire budget?

Jesus, so many incompetents in government, and she will skate out office with a pension and never be held accountable, just like politicans everywhere.

Her actions have shown otherwise.
