Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Los Angeles Times, publicly acknowledged that endorsing Mayor Karen Bass for re-election was an error. He expressed this sentiment during an appearance on 'The Morning Meeting' while highlighting the devastating wildfires in southern California.
BOSTON, MA - OCTOBER 26: Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, Founder and CEO NantWorks, Leader of the Cancer MoonShot 2020, announces newest initiatives for Cancer MoonShot 2020 at Hyatt Regency Boston on October 26, 2016 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Soon-Shiong said during an appearance on the online show “The Morning Meeting” that “we’ll accept some blame” as wildfires cause damage in parts of southern California. The Los Angeles Times endorsed Bass for mayor in 2022. The newspaper categorized her as a leader who could bring city residents together and had a holistic vision for a better community.
“It's an interesting thing is that maybe we should think about how we elect people on the basis of did they actually run a job? Did they actually make a payroll? Do they understand what it is?” he asked.“Maybe the lesson we learned out of this catastrophe in California is to now vote not based on left or right or D versus R but perhaps based on competent or no experience in operating a job !!” the post reads.
