      Their kid seems to have some minimum of human decency if nothing else. Does she deserve special attention for being a billionaire's kid? No, not really. But standing up against genocide certainly is a good take regardless of who it's coming from..

        i just think the tweet is incorrect, because she says it's the editorial boards decision when the LA Times has an article saying it was the owners decision.

        plus these endorsements don't matter anyways, it's not 1960.

        unless something is said specifically about it, going from "no endorsement" to "definitely opposes genocide" is a leap. the daughter isnt the billionaire.

          there is also this: https://www.semafor.com/article/11/16/2023/la-times-bars-reporters-who-signed-open-letter-from-covering-gaza

          so the question is, does shit flows from the billionaire or editorial board?

          For my family, Apartheid is not a vague concept. My father was an emergency surgeon at Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto. He treated students shot by the police during the Soweto Uprisings – where 176 died

          there is this from the daughter.

          At the same time, owner seems like a dipshit. who knows
