"#Boycott and resist institutions/companies that have continually aligned with the interests of #Trump:

- Get off #Twitter/X and find different EV cars. If you want an electric car, buy something else. Elon #Musk is wreaking havoc.
- Don’t buy from #Amazon and unsubscribe from The #WashingtonPost. #JeffBezos owns both The Washington Post and much of Amazon. He dictates WAPO editorial content in favor of the oligarchy and funds Trump interests.
- Boycott #AirBnB! #JoeGebbia, co-founder of Air B&B, has joined #DOGE.
- Unsubscribe from the #LATimes! #PatrickSoon-Shiong owns the LA Times, and dictates editorial decisions that support the slide to fascism.

🔴 📰 **The L.A. Times adds AI-generated counterpoints to its opinion pieces and guess what, there are problems**

Laura Hazard Owen

“A human writer will present one side of a debate, AI will present the other, and readers, seeing the multitude of perspectives represented, will trust the L.A. Times more and pay up. Or, politicians from across the political spectrum will recognize that the L.A.Times is treating them all fairly and never complain about coverage again”_

Scoop from last night's @semafor.com newsletter: A veteran Republican strategist who ran a pro-#Trump super PAC is privately recruiting conservative pundits to join the LA Times, and advising owner Patrick Soon-Shiong on how to remake the paper's opinion section

LA Times was shamed into printing an article (buried) about their event causing a food illness outbreak by LA Taco.

More Than 70 People Reported Feeling Ill After Eating Oysters At L.A. Times ‘101 Restaurants’ Food Event

Ragusano is disappointed that the L.A. Times didn’t publicly disclose that there was an outbreak at their event. “Obviously they’re not going to print it in their paper,” Ragusano said. “But they‘re a newspaper and newspapers are supposed to share the news. This is how people usually find out about something like this,” she added. “It's ironic because it happened to them.”

#Journalism, or what once was journalism, is now semantic muzak. The sharp edges of fact are being worn down by fascism and gobsmacking amounts of money.

"CNN’s Reliable Sources reported on Friday morning that besides Soon-Shiong spiking the editorial, several recent opinion section headlines were also “softened” or “made more bland” by editors concerned that “anything too harsh would get rejected” by the billionaire owner."

Timothy Snyder: Obeying in advance: Media billionaires ask for #tyranny

"Greetings from Oklahoma. Here are a few thoughts from here on video about the decisions of the owners of the Washington Post and the LA Times to suppress their editorial boards’ decisions to endorse Kamala Harris.

A problem with the very wealthy is that, alas, the least vulnerable have a tendency to think of themselves as the most vulnerable."
