The Los Angeles Times' neglect of crime coverage shows how left-wing activism destroys journalism
Opinion by Zachary Faria - Yesterday 3:29 PM
Nothing better embodies the state of criminal justice reform and the rot that liberal activism has wrought on media than the mess that is the Los Angeles Times.
Politico’s deep dive into the tensions between the Times and its billionaire owner lays it all bare. It opens by recounting how a reporter wrote a fairly basic crime write-up after criminals stole two luxury watches worth $19,000. Left-wing activists piled on the reporter, Jeong Park, calling the story a “press release” for law enforcement.
That pile-on was joined by Nika Soon-Shiong, the 29-year-old daughter of the Times’ billionaire owner. She was upset that the outlet would dare cover crime — you know, the damage criminals do to communities — instead of focusing on “overcharging, manipulating crime stats, or lying about the cost per deputy.”
