2024-12-20
Arrr! It be said the scallywags o' the Los Angeles Times penned a note, claimin' the captain o' the ship be meddlin' in the editorials, tryin' to keep the scorn for Trump under lock and key 'fore they set sail! Avast, what a jolly ruckus!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn about the Los Angeles Times, where the owner, a fanciful chap named Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, be throwin’ a mighty big wrench into the ship’s journalistic sails! Aye, he commanded the editorial crew to steer clear o’ any scallywag critiques o’ President-elect Trump, sendin’ a memo to the lot, sayin’ they be takin’ a sabbatical from speakin’ ill of the captain-elect.Yarrr, the scribes be likin’ it not! They penned a missive back, expressin’ their fears that the good doctor’s commands be threatenin’ the very integrity o’ the Times. It seems he’s demandin’ to see all their words ‘fore they be fit for the public’s eye, and hath instituted rules that be makin’ it harder to voice dissentin’ opinions on the president-elect. Aye, they fear their ship is driftin’ into calm waters where no waves o’ criticism dare to crash!
Despite the mutiny among his crew, Dr. Soon-Shiong be pushin’ forward, repeatin’ his grand ambition to keep the Times as a trusty, middle-ground vessel of news. With fear o’ losing subscribers as fierce as a kraken’s grip, he’s charmin’ the crew with promises of a new editorial board filled with all manner o’ voices, even some conservative blokes from CNN! Aye, the saga continues on the high seas of journalism, where the winds of change be blowin’ mighty strong!
