LAT owner wants opposing views on opinion pieces critical of Trump

Owner of the Los Angeles Times, Patrick Soon-Shiong "has instituted a new policy that prohibits editorials containing criticism of the president-elect unless they are presented side-by-side with another opinion piece representing the 'opposing view.’" https://www.status.news/p/patrick-soon-shiong-los-angeles-times-donald-trump-fcad (paywall likely)

The next time someone posts an opinion piece of Trump’s sexual assault on E Jean Carroll, I cannot wait to hear the opposing view.

Dodgers win World Series

I’m very pleased about that because at one point they showed a shot of Rudy Giuliani at Yankee Stadium.

Tina Peters is an American convicted felon who is the former County Clerk of Mesa County, Colorado. Described in 2022 as "one of at least twenty-two election deniers vying to take charge of elections in eighteen states", she was the first election official in the U.S. convicted of criminal charges related to stolen election conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 United States presidential election. In August 2024, she was convicted on charges relating to unauthorized access to election machines.


9 years for the Orange Messiah. Way to go, honey!

Rob Schneider - anti vax dickhead.

Right-wing not-so-funnyman Rob Schneider suggested that NBA great Dikembe Mutombo, who died of brain cancer at age 58 on Monday, was a victim of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The former “Deuce Bigalow” and “Saturday Night Live” star shared a video of the Basketball Hall of Famer urging people to get inoculated during the pandemic.

“Rest in Peace ...” Schneider wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I’m sure this just (another) coincidence. But I took a pass on the Jab and I’m gonna not let anyone I know (and who will Listen) get it either!”

Schneider’s hot take was deemed “monstrous” by Rex Chapman, a social media commentator and NBA contemporary of Mutombo. “Dikembe fought hard for the past year. He died from brain cancer. He lived beyond an honorable life,” Chapman wrote.
