LA Times Owner Regrets Endorsing Democrat Karen Bass

Over the last decade or so, the mainstream media has gone to the extreme left, to the point an endorsement for a Democrat is almost a given.

One of those outlets, the LA Times, now regrets giving the Democrats the automatic stamp of approval. 

More specifically, he regrets the Times giving Karen Bass its endorsement for Mayor of Los Angeles. 

Regrettable 

Over the last few days, we have done numerous reports showing that the wildfires in Los Angeles did not have to be this devastating.  

These fires happen every year, but legislation and policies put in place by Democrats have made them far worse. And that includes the Biden administration.  

Prescribed burns were not done, funds were cut, maintenance was not done, and no systems were ever put in place to make up for the fact their hydrant system is not up to be able to defend against wildfires like this.  

To that point, Dr. Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Times, stated, "At the LA Times we endorsed Karen Bass, I think right now that’s a mistake, and we admit that.” 

Bass had been warned about the possibility of fires breaking out, yet she decided to go to Ghana for its presidential inauguration.  

My question... why does the mayor of a US city need to travel internationally for a presidential inauguration?  

To make matters worse, when Bass got back, she refused to comment on her trip when pressed by a reporter about being away as these fires were engulfing her community.  

Soon-Shiong made another comment that pushes a narrative I have been saying for years.  

He stated, "We should think about how we actually elect people, on the basis of did they actually run a job did they actually make a payroll. Rather than having political politicians whose only job is to run for office.” 

I took this a step further, saying politicians today are only in this to get rich, write books, make money on social media, and do a podcast.  

When our Founders established this country, members of Congress were business owners and farmers, regular community members, who were paid $6 a day for being in session and $6 for every 20 miles they had to travel to attend a session. They truly represented the people of their community.  

Today, people go to college with the full intention of running for office and being a career politician.  

As I have stated many times, our system is broken. But sadly, nobody seems to want to fix it.
