Looking at the LA Times butt-hurt opinion world once again

Harry Litman, a legal columnist for the LA Times, announced he was resigning from its op-ed board over the paper's non-endorsement in the presidential election and related matters.

My comment?

Lemme see. If I recall correctly, Dr. Soon-Shiong admitted that, per his daughter, the non-endorsement in this year's presidential election was in part over Gaza. What's YOUR take on genocide, Harry Litman? (My one problem was that Doctor Daddy didn't nudge the editorial board into considering third-party candidates)

Followed by a link to my previous look at reality at the LAT and the non-endorsement. (That comment drew one quick comment from "Andy in Burbank":

Endorsing democracy with Harris/Walz should've precedence over not endorsing anyone, which helped electing Herr Drumpf, who's taking sides with Israel.

To which I replied:

You either didn't read or ignored the sentence in parentheses in my comment. And, as a third-party voter who's seen plenty of Democratic Pary ballot suppression efforts, don't try to make the "protecting democracy" claim that way, either.

And, that's that.

With that? Who's Harry Litman? Per Wiki, someone who's a definite Democratic Party apparatchik, which is not disclosed in the piece.

That includes:

• Deputy AG under Janet Reno in the Clinton administration.
• USDA for the Western District of Pennsylvania under Clinton.
• Legal counsel in 2004 in Pennsylvania for the Kerry campaign in 2004 and Obama in 2008.

Other op-ed board members there and at other papers have GOP backgrounds, of course. That said, this should be mentioned. He has motive for protesting the non-endorsement.

Now, the biggie? This video episode of his podcast, and various comments like this on Shitter make clear he's some sort of Zionist. How deep-fried of one, I don't know. But, some level? Yes. Read the comments on the YouTube for basic background.

Now, that said, I'm not in agreement with owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong's most recent actions. His wanting advance screening on op-ed headlines is ridiculous micro-meddling. His "bias meter" idea will have its own bias — toward the duopoly more than toward Trump per se.

Beyond the above? Hanging out with the likes of Tim Snyder on Shitter, plus apparently indicating he's going to the blue skies of Blue Sky?
