Los Angeles Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong on Friday reaffirmed his commitment to the Los Angeles Times. The Wall Street Journal article noted that Soon-Shiong did not immediately respond to a request for a comment before it published the article. But Manning said the Wall Street Journal did not wait for a response from the company before publishing. Manning shared the statement sent to the Wall Street Journal one minute before it posted the story:“Dr. Soon-Shiong and his family continue to invest in and plan for the future of the Los Angeles Times, and do not plan to sell,” Manning wrote to the Journal reporter.
