LA WATCHDOG - Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Los Angeles Times, is taking flak for his decision not to endorse a candidate for President. Rather than dumping on Soon-Shiong, we should be thanking him for rescuing The Times, our paper of record, from the goons in Chicago. In 2018, Soon-Shiong purchased The Times for $500 million from the owners of the Chicago Tribune. Based on the success of The New York Times, paid subscriptions to the print and digital offerings are the way forward. In return for our money for either a print or digital subscription, The Times will be our fiscal watchdog.
