Former Vice President Kamala Harris slammed billionaire-owned newspapers, The Washington Post and LA Times, in her new book for declining to make 2024 presidential endorsements.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris called out The and the Los Angeles Times in her new book, « 107 Days », over their refusal to endorse a presidential candidate in 2024.
« The Los Angeles Times, my hometown newspaper, published its electoral endorsements », she wrote, recalling the Oct. 14 piece published by the paper. « The very first line of the article stated: ‘It’s no exaggeration to say this may be the most consequential election in a generation.’ But there was no mention of the most consequential race of all. »
The LA Times, owned by Patrick Soon-Shiong, declined to endorse a presidential candidate, and The , owned by Jeff Bezos, followed suit.
« The pre-capitulation of these powerful billionaires alarmed and dispirited me. As it turned out, they were early adopters of the feckless posture that would be embraced by a raft of business leaders and institutions once Trump was elected. They’d just been the first in line to grovel », Harris wrote after noting the Post’s non-endorsement and in reference to President Donald Trump’s eventual election victory.
