In the aftermath of President-elect Donald Trump's landslide win, legacy media outlet the Los Angeles Times appears to be making a frantic effort to realign with voters.On Wednesday, the Times' owner, Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong, announced that the newspaper would replace its editorial board.'Putting lipstick on a pig.'In a statement on X, Soon-Shiong wrote, "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," he added, emphasizing that diverse perspectives would include opinions "from left to right to the center.""Coming soon," Soon-Shiong wrote. "A new Editorial Board. Trust in media is critical for a strong democracy."Over recent years, the editorial section of the L.A. Times has frequently published articles that clearly demonstrate its left-leaning bias.The Times issued an opinion piece in 2021 written by columnist Erika D. Smith, titled, "Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy. You've been warned." The following year, the newspaper released an op-ed by business columnist Michael Hiltzik titled, "Mocking anti-vaxxers' COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes — but may be necessary."Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin noted that the L.A. Times published article after article "endorsing soft on crime [Los Angeles District Attorney] DA George Gascon, who just got blown out by over 20 points in his re-election bid."Police analyst and Townhall columnist Phil Holloway responded on X to the news that the L.A. Times plans to replace its editorial board.Holloway wrote, "Here in the south we call this 'putting lipstick on a pig.'""They can change the editorial board all they want, but until they abandon 'advocacy journalism' — which is a euphemism for propaganda — they will remain a newspaper worthy only of lining birdcages," Holloway added.Leading into the election, Soon-Shiong faced significant pushback after he refused to allow the newspaper to endorse Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. Since 2008, the Times has backed every Democratic presidential candidate.Following the non-endorsement decision, the newspaper faced a wave of resignations, including three editorial board members.Then-editorials editor Mariel Garza stated at the time, "I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent.""In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I'm standing up," Garza added.Soon-Shiong explained, "The Editorial Board was provided the opportunity to draft a factual analysis of all the POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE policies by EACH candidate during their tenures at the White House, and how these policies affected the nation.""Instead of adopting this path as suggested, the Editorial Board chose to remain silent and I accepted their decision," he said.The Los Angeles Times Guild Unit Council and Bargaining Committee accused Soon-Shiong of "unfairly assigning blame to Editorial Board members for his decision not to endorse."Like Blaze News?

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed that he has nominated Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida to serve as attorney general, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida to serve as secretary of state, and former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii to serve as director of national intelligence.Reports of Rubio's and Gabbard's appointments have circulated over the last few days, with Trump confirming their nominations on Wednesday. Although Gaetz has long been an ally of Trump, his name has not appeared on any short lists for the administration. 'As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties - She is now a proud Republican!'"Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System," Trump said in a statement. "Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans' badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department." "Matt will root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution," Trump continued. "We must have Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency at DOJ. Under Matt's leadership, all Americans will be proud of the Department of Justice once again."In response, Gaetz tweeted, "It will be an honor to serve as President Trump’s Attorney General!"Trump also confirmed rumors of Rubio's nomination. "Marco is a Highly Respected Leader, and a very powerful Voice for Freedom," Trump said in a statement. "He will be a strong Advocate for our Nation, a true friend to our Allies, and a fearless Warrior who will never back down to our adversaries.""Fighting partisan gridlock and elite complacency is never easy, but Senator Rubio is honored to serve his country and the people of Florida," Trump continued. "Every day, he wakes up determined to make it easier for you and your family to pursue the American Dream. He will not stop until American politics is once again centered on commonsense and the common good."In response to the nomination, Rubio thanked Trump and promised to prioritize American interests. "As Secretary of State, I will work every day to carry out [Trump's] foreign policy agenda," Rubio said of the nomination. "Under the leadership of President Trump, we will deliver peace through strength and always put the interests of Americans and America above all else." Given Rubio is currently a sitting senator, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida will have to make an appointment to replace him for the remainder of his term. Trump also went on to congratulate and praise Gabbard for her past and future service to the country. "For over two decades, Tulsi has fought for our Country and the Freedoms of all Americans," Trump said in a statement. "As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties - She is now a proud Republican!""I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights, and securing Peace through Strength," Trump continued. "Tulsi will make us all proud!"Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Trump derangement syndrome is alive and well among liberals, but Bill Maher is refusing to let the ailment get the best of him, as it has so many others. In a recent segment on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” he made this incredibly clear. “He called for a military tribunal against her,” panelist John Heilemann said of Trump’s recent comments about Liz Cheney. “He might not do it, but you don’t want to normalize the notion that that’s the kind of language that we want to have.” “This is the problem with, I’m sorry, the far left, is that you’re not going to drag me into Trump derangement syndrome. It’s not deranged to be upset and worried about the real things. Like, he could be a fascist,” Maher responded. “But if you’re going to think I’m going to chase every rabbit down the hole for the next four years, you’re wrong. I’m not going to,” he continued. “I did this once; I’m not going to do it again.” “That’s who he is. If he talks about Arnold Palmer’s **** or he says a bad word or says something that everybody thinks like ‘There are s***hole countries,' I’m not going to lose my s*** about it. I’m just not, ‘cause that is deranged,” he added. Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is impressed to say the least. “Who knows where Bill will end up years from now? Maybe he never gets where we all would want him to be electorally, and okay, so be it, but he’s saying it,” Rubin says. “He’s saying, ‘I will not behave the way I behaved last time,’ which was, ‘I was going to hate him and undermine him no matter what,’” he adds.
