The owner of The Los Angeles Times, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, vetoed the newspaper's planned endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president, sparking anger and confusion among readers and staff members. Dr. Soon-Shiong's daughter, Nika Soon-Shiong, revealed that the decision was motivated by Harris's support for Israel in its war in Gaza. The move led to the cancellation of subscriptions, the resignation of three members of the editorial board, and demands for an explanation from staff members. The incident has raised questions about the owner's influence over the newspaper's editorial decisions and the relationship between the newsroom and the owner.
