Dr. Soon-Shiong's intervention reflects a growing tension at The Los Angeles Times, highlighting concerns from the staff about editorial independence and bias in the opinion section.
Following pressure from Dr. Soon-Shiong, the editorial titled 'Donald Trump's cabinet choices are not normal' was removed just before print, emphasizing the perceived need for balance in opinions.
Multiple staff members protested Dr. Soon-Shiong's suppression of the editorial board's endorsement of Kamala Harris, suggesting a significant shift in the paper’s approach to political commentary.
Concerned editorial staff fear that Dr. Soon-Shiong's desire for balance might compromise their independence and objectivity, particularly regarding the incoming Trump administration.
