LA Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong appeared on Tucker Carlson’s podcast to defend his editorial decisions, including retracting an endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris. He emphasized the importance of opinions based on facts rather than bias.
Soon-Shiong’s move to attract more conservative readers has stirred controversy, leading to resignations and subscription cancellations. Despite facing criticism, he stands by his decision to promote balanced reporting.
In response to the editorial board’s reluctance to provide a neutral analysis of political candidates, Soon-Shiong underscored the need for fair and accurate journalism. His efforts to diversify the editorial team signal a commitment to presenting multiple perspectives.
While facing internal dissent, Soon-Shiong remains firm in his vision for a more inclusive and objective editorial approach. By engaging with a variety of voices, he aims to create a platform that reflects diverse viewpoints.
