For a year, this homeowner asked the police and the city of L.A. to clean out the house next door that had become a homeless encampment of people fighting, staying up all night and making the neighborhood feel unsafe. And then .... burned.lareported.substack.com/p/hollywood-ho…

If you're an L.A. resident, something major is wrong with your electric bill. It would be easy to fix but LADWP isn't interested. lareported.substack.com/p/ladwp-pricing

If you own or rent a home in California, you need to read this story by L.A.'s new nonprofit newsroom. The state might require drastic changes to the area around your house. What do you think? Good science or a foolish, costly policy based on too little? lareported.substack.com/p/the-fires-on…

Mark Zuckerberg really embarrassed himself with this remark. provokedbysusan.com/does-business-…

Every time I think my former newspaper has reached an ethical bottom, the owner of the L.A. Times proves me wrong. What can you do about it? Cancel your subscription and tell them why. This cannot be allowed to continue. thedailybeast.com/maga-newspaper…

@BudgerigarBlgr @davidfolkenflik @latimes I'm doing fine after canceling by using LAist, yahoo etc. CalMatters for state news. I put up a google alert on los angeles news, wildfires, etc. and not missing a thing. I consider it standing up for journalistic ethics at a time when the owner has decided to trash them.

@davidfolkenflik I wish I could cancel the @latimes but it's virtually my only source of local news. They do occasionally publish my letters so at least that's something in their favor.

This would be a staff reduction at LAT of approximately 13-15 percent

@drpatrick Newsom did this in Seotember 2024, long before you started kissing RFK's bum. California and Newsom were leading the way for RFK, not the other way around. This is why journalism should be done by journalists, not by serially inaccurate billionaires who don't bother with facts.

Another great example of following the lead that RFK has set!! Better late than never. Hopefully much more to come from the federal level latimes.com/california/sto…

@drpatrick I doubt your bestie RFK Jr would agree.

An even more contagious COVID strain is ‘just getting started’ amid California wave. When will we begin to acknowledge that we are facilitating these mutations by not developing a vaccine against the core of the virus - the N protein. latimes.com/california/sto…

Great time being interviewd this week on Texas Public Radio by @davidmartindavies -- who has his own radio talk show withou a bachelor's. @TPRNews tpr.org/podcast/the-so…

A terrific interviewer on Texas Public Radio had me on his talk show this week to talk about the employer movement to value skills over school degrees. Turns out that he forged a journalism career and became an NPR affiliate host without a bachelor's! tpr.org/podcast/the-so…

@drpatrick If you read your own paper before this, you would know that the letters editor picks, and always has picked, a representative sample of letters to publish on a given topic. If 80% of letters are pro-whatever, then about 80% of the published letters will be, and so forth.

Proud that we posted this letter from one of our readers on X. When the President has won the vote of the majority of Americans then ALL voices must be heard. Opinions are just that. I will work towards making our paper and media fair and balanced so that all voices are heard and we can respectfully exchange every American’s view ..from left to right to the center. Coming soon. A new Editorial Board. Trust in media is critical for a strong democracy.

Go, @kklein100:

@triviacop @drpatrick @latimes @nikasoonshiong No, you never did get a straight story.

@drpatrick Did we ever get a straight story on WHO decided to not endorse a presidential candidate this election, and WHY? I saw differing accounts from the same source (@latimes ), some blaming you. Then you blamed the editorial board, and then @nikasoonshiong claimed it was her idea.

@aliensuns @drpatrick They just hid it the best they could.

@drpatrick Did the paper correctly report the happenings in Amsterdam?

@PhoenxLights @drpatrick @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @JDVance @realDonaldTrump @joerogan You do understand he's talking about the OPINION side of the paper, not the news pages, right?

@drpatrick Dr. Soon-Shiong, America needs a champion. All voices heard and respected backed by professional journalists reporting unbiased, objective, conflict free news. Lead the way! @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @JDVance @realDonaldTrump @RobertKennedyJr @joerogan

@Justin_G0rd0n @drpatrick lol

@drpatrick But how does Nika feel about this?

Philly being Philly. "F around and find out"

@Joe_Gierut @maxwelltani Perhaps it would be helpful for you to inform yourself before your helpful judgment of dumbness. The Times online cancellation form offers very few options to describe why someone is leaving. "Editorial content" is as close as it gets.

@maxwelltani It is exceedingly dumb to cancel a newspaper subscription over "editorial content."

From our piece last night: the Los Angeles Times has lost more than 18,000 of its fewer than 400,000 direct subscriptions in the week after its non-endorsement. 7k directly cited “editorial content” as their reason for unsubscribing.

Powerful words from my former @latimes colleague Tony Barboza. "Now is the time to stand resolutely against Trump's racism and xenophobia." latimes.com/opinion/story/…
