The owner of the Los Angeles Times, Dr Patrick Soon-Shiong, has criticised his paper’s decision to endorse Karen Bass for mayor.
Soon-Shiong’s endorsement of Bass for LA’s mayor came in 2022, with the doctor admitting it was a “mistake”. “We’ll accept some blame. At the LA Times, we endorsed Karen Bass. I think, right now, upfront, that’s a mistake, and we admit that,” he said. The owner’s comments came during an interview on 2WAY Interactive’s ‘The Morning Meeting’ podcast on Monday. Soon-Shiong’s comments follow a post he made to X last week, where he called out Bass for cutting the “LA Fire Department’s budget by $23M”.
