In reply to the discussion: Los Angeles Times editorials editor resigns after owner blocks presidential endorsement [View all]Wiz Imp
(1,285 posts)31. She deserves credit for resigning - it was the right thing to do
But why couldn't the endorsement have been run anyway? It seems they could have gone ahead and published it anyway and resigned immediately afterward. Unless there were others at the paper who agreed with the owner's stance and were somehow able to make sure they wouldn't allow it to be seen. If that is the case, those people absolutely need to be identified to the public as well.

Do you have proof that it would not matter? Should no action ever be taken because it "would not matter"?
