(Deadline) Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Los Angeles Times, dismissed the entire editorial board to bring in a new team that aligns with his vision for a more “fair and balanced” newspaper.
A source familiar with the situation described the atmosphere at the LAT as one of “pervasive despair,” with tensions rising in the wake of Soon-Shiong’s decision.
Pulling out Fox News’ old “Fair and Balanced” motto, Dr. Soon-Shiong took to social media over the weekend to praise a reader’s letter slamming LAT columnist LZ Granderson over reasons for Donald Trump‘s election win and then dropped the news of the new editorial board “coming soon.”
