Daughter of Los Angeles Times’ Owner Says Paper Is Refusing to “Endorse a Candidate Overseeing a War on Children”

Patrick Soon-Shiong's outspoken daughter, Nika, posted on X on Friday that "genocide is a line in the sand."

The daughter of Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong is weighing in on the controversy that has erupted around the paper’s decision not to endorse a presidential candidate in 2024, saying that “for me, genocide is a line in the sand.”

In a thread of social media posts on Thursday, Nika Soon-Shiong attributed the decision to an opposition to Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’ position on the war on Gaza. She wrote that her father, a South African transplant surgeon, had worked as an emergency surgeon at Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto during apartheid. “For my family, Apartheid is not a vague concept.” Maintaining that the decision to endorse was one made by the Los Angeles Times editorial board, Nika added, “This is not a vote for Donald Trump. This is a refusal to ENDORSE a candidate that is overseeing a war on children.”

She continued, “I’m proud of the LA Times’ decision just as I am certain there is no such thing as children of darkness. There is no such thing as human animals.”

While some outlets have suggested that Soon-Shiong may have pushed for a nonendorsement in order to curry favor with former President Donald Trump in the event he is re-elected, two well-placed sources at the Times suggest that the real reason is antipathy toward Harris for her and the Biden administration’s stance on Israel. “They’ve both been very critical of the administration and its support for Israel, and Nika has been especially vociferous about that,” says one source. “She has regularly accused Israel of genocide and condemned the administration for their support. Just look at her Twitter feed — she has a Palestinian flag in her bio. Patrick is less vocal, but he agrees with her. I think there’s no question that their refusal to endorse Kamala stems from that.”

This morning on 'The Weekend', billionaire celebrity Mark Cuban was a guest and said he understood the reason to be pressure from his South African friend, Elon Musk. Cuban said the two have been friends for a very long time, and Musk warned him that Trump will go after him and shut his paper down if he endorsed Harris and Trump wins. The owner took this very seriously and opted to drop the Harris endorsement.

As Cuban pointed out - if you're the owner of one of any newspaper in the country, and you are pressured or threatened NOT to exercise the First Amendment of 'freedom of the press' from a Presidential candidate (or anyone else), then its time to sell the newspaper and get out of the newspaper business. (He said the same about Bezos and his ownership of The Washington Post). He is absolutely right.

She’s a ridiculous little cunt, the pampered daughter of a billionaire who attended Oxford and likes to cosplay as a socialist revolutionary. She has destroyed the LA Times by stacking its ranks with far leftists who are more interested in shaping opinion than covering the news, and by pressuring the editorial board to endorse radical far-left positions and candidates for local government. She has contributed greatly to the social disorder that is now rampant in LA, because well-meaning liberals have followed the Times’ endorsements without realizing that the paper is now a pet project of one vile little brat who is running a leftist social experiment on a major city just for fun. Of course, she will never have to deal with the urban decay and disorder that she wants to foist on everyone else to feed her narcissistic self-image. I’m glad that the rot at the heart of the newspaper is finally coming to light, and I really hope that a challenger to the LA Times emerges. LA needs a legitimate hometown newspaper.

Possible? Yes. Likely? FUCK NO. (And R36 is full of shit.)

Trump's literal FIRST attack on a minority group after his inauguration was banning ALL Muslims – from ANY country – from entering the US. While the courts almost immediately reversed it, Trump kept pounding this specific issue for months, and ultimately got away with a vastly watered-down one.

Racial minorities in America still overwhelmingly vote Democratic, even more culturally conservative ones such as Hispanics. They may not like the gays or abortion, but they DEFINITELY don't like being singled out solely because of their national origin. (Which btw violates the Constitution as well.)

R40, I'm not going to argue delusional conspiracy theories with you. There will NOT be "mass deportations." Period. This is a literal impossibility, and the consequence would quite literally be the collapse of the America economy. What Repugs never say out loud is that they know DAMN well that the "Mexican rapists" they denigrate and the ones who do the vast majority of the work Americans are too fucking lazy to do, e.g. spending 14-hour days in 100-degree heat picking fruit at California farms. Or accepting minimum wage to work as hotel housekeepers.

Most campaign promises are bullshit in general, and it's next-level bullshit for Trump. While SCOTUS may have decided HE is above the law for actions taken as president, that is NOT the case for his "accomplices."

Finally, did you somehow forget that Trump is a pathological liar? (and pathological in general) Almost NOTHING he says is true, and as John Kelly pointed out, he's too fucking stupid to even *grasp* the limits of the Constitution. (In particular his desire for totalitarian power.) THAT is why he THINKS he can be "dictator for a day," never mind that it's not happening in the reality-based world.

[quote]You do not think that after his first run of promises that were not done, on his second chance, he will not have his feet held to the fire by his cult?

Almost his entire first campaign centered around the border wall he couldn't finish. Did that faze his cultists in the slightest? NOPE. As always, he'd just blame "commie leftist Democrats" for "sabotaging" his grand plan.

Which they said at the DNC that exacted zero damage on the Harris campaign. And which doesn't impact ACTUAL votes.

In the reality-based world, the reason Harris might lose Michigan is because it's over 70% white – but, then, that was one of the very specific reasons she chose Walz as a running mate, to mitigate that possibility and present herself as the champion of labor unions (who btw are MUCH more influential on whole - if anything, the Teamsters declining to endorse anybody may exact more damage).

[quote]But Michigan Muslims love the gays and the trannies!

What the AF does that have to do with anything whatsoever here? Do you seriously think Michigan's vastly large white Republican population loves the queer community? The mayor is NOT truly acting on behalf of his constituents; if New Yorkers can be conned into voting for a criminal like Eric Adams as mayor, a small Michigan city can do the same. And we already knew Ghalid hates gays & trans people. (And you should really stop using the term "tranny.") Anyway, the ACTUAL story is here:

-------------------

Amer Ghalib has made a lot of national news as the leader of a small, Midwestern city.

His election in 2021 as mayor of Hamtramck, Mich., was itself a headline. Mr. Ghalib, who is from Yemen, became the first Arab American and first Muslim to govern the city. And he was working with what was believed to be the first all-Muslim City Council in the country.

Two years later, Mr. Ghalib created another stir when he and other socially conservative Muslims banned the L.G.B.T.Q. Pride flag from publicly owned flagpoles, alarming liberals who said the move was discriminatory and harmful to the city’s welcoming reputation.

Their fears only heightened last month, after Mr. Ghalib endorsed Donald J. Trump, who as president had ushered in what is known as the Muslim ban, blocking immigrants from seven majority-Muslim nations, including Mr. Ghalib’s home country. Adding to the tensions was a visit by Mr. Trump, who hoped the mayor’s support could peel off a meaningful number of Muslim voters in Michigan, a swing state. Explaining his support, Mr. Ghalib pointed to a distaste for liberal social views, anger at President Biden’s support of Israel and a belief that Mr. Trump will end the conflict in the Middle East. In Hamtramck (pronounced “ham-tram-ick”), many longtime liberal residents, including members of the L.G.B.T.Q. community, say they were dejected.

Over the years, they had actively encouraged the city of 30,000 residents, just north of downtown Detroit, to welcome immigrants. When Muslims won a majority of seats in the six-member City Council in 2015, they cheered the change as a rebuke to the anti-immigrant rhetoric used by Mr. Trump.

They had not expected this outcome.

In this election year, when immigration has been debated, distorted and vilified, Hamtramck offers an example of how the issue can cut in politically complex and surprising ways. The city’s longtime residents, committed to diversity and liberal values, celebrated the newcomers. But Mr. Ghalib, along with some other immigrants, brought to Hamtramck their own principles, priorities and ambitions. For his part, Mr. Ghalib, 44, said he hoped his endorsement, and Mr. Trump’s visit, would “help the Muslim community come together and stop negative rhetoric toward Republicans.” But shortly after the mayor’s endorsement, Mohammed Hassan, a city councilman and a leader within the city’s Bangladeshi Muslim community, publicly backed Vice President Kamala Harris.

Democratic policies, he said, help the poor and middle class, while Mr. Trump scapegoats immigrants. Mr. Hassan also believes Ms. Harris would better handle negotiations over the war in the Middle East, partly because of her composure: “She is not crazy like him,” he said.

Democratic policies, he said, help the poor and middle class, while Mr. Trump scapegoats immigrants. Mr. Hassan also believes Ms. Harris would better handle negotiations over the war in the Middle East, partly because of her composure: “She is not crazy like him,” he said.

Mr. Ghalib has been the center of controversy before, mainly over social media posts that he now disavows or says were taken out of context by liberals.

He told The Times that he began turning toward Republicans when, as mayor, he faced bitter division in his city over social issues, mainly over L.G.B.T.Q. rights.

He noted that in 2022, he stood behind conservative Muslim parents who complained about L.G.B.T.Q. books in school libraries. The books, he said, were part of the “gay agenda.”

The Pride flag, Mr. Ghalib said, needed to be taken down in the name of neutrality, so the city could avoid being forced to fly banners from hate groups.

Ms. Majewski, the former mayor, called its removal “completely about bigotry.”

Republicans seized on the infighting by reaching out to Mr. Ghalib.

In July 2023, Mr. Ghalib appeared on a podcast hosted by Tudor Dixon, the evangelical conservative Republican who had recently lost the Michigan governor’s race to Gretchen Whitmer. On the podcast, Mr. Ghalib complained about aggressive behavior and abusive attacks from liberal opposition. He sent a warning: If you “discontinue supporting me, why do you think I’ll continue to support you?”

Then Mr. Ghalib led a meeting with Muslim leaders and Gen. Michael T. Flynn, the conservative firebrand and conspiracy theorist who briefly served as national security adviser during the Trump presidency. Mr. Flynn, who had previously called Islam “a cancer,” now spoke of forming a conservative coalition between Christians and Muslims.

Mr. Ghalib told The Times that he and other Muslim Americans feel dismissed and overlooked by Democrats. He cited the Biden administration’s support for Israel in its war with Hamas, and noted that more than 100,000 people protested by voting uncommitted in Michigan’s Democratic presidential primary. But, he said, “nothing changed” in terms of Mr. Biden’s policies.

Mr. Ghalib, smiling proudly, said Mr. Trump showed him respect.

Mr. Trump has denigrated Palestinians, called Middle Eastern immigrants “known terrorists” and encouraged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to “finish the job” in Gaza. None of that swayed Mr. Ghalib’s confidence in the former president. “He kept repeating to me that his goal is to end the chaos in the Middle East,” the mayor said.

Though he does not agree with Mr. Trump on everything, Mr. Ghalib called him a “decisive and family-oriented person” who is “very principled.” Reminded of Mr. Trump’s frequent spreading of disinformation, as well as his conviction for covering up an affair with a porn star, Mr. Ghalib said such matters were in “the media,” but “who knows?”

“I hope he will not disappoint me,” Mr. Ghalib said. “We’ll see.” [When Trump sics his cultists on Hamtramck's "Islamic radicals," he'll sure as fuck be disappointed.]

Question: the Washington Post continues to be raked over the fucking coals for also not endorsing Trump (for good reason), AND at its billionaire owner's specific request. Is the LA Times getting a "pass" only because its owner isn't as high-profile as Bezos? Or did people simply take the daughter's statement at face value? (I did NOT, as noted upthread, and suspected their "leftist" daughter was not articulating her father's true views.)
