"So, why did I cancel my subscriptions?

Because this wasn’t about an endorsement. It was about what it says of these papers’ owners—and a troubling trend among oligarchs more generally.

"Mariel Garza, the Los Angeles Times' editorials editor, resigned yesterday after Patrick Soon-Shiong, the newspaper's billionaire owner, blocked the outlet’s decision to endorse Harris. This has further strained Soon-Shiong's already tense relationship with Times staff during a year marked by newsroom cuts and turmoil."
