Los Angeles Times Adds Conservative Voice to Editorial Board

CNN commentator Scott Jennings joins the board as owner Patrick Soon-Shiong seeks to diversify perspectives.

Scott Jennings, a conservative CNN commentator, has joined the Los Angeles Times editorial board following an invitation from the paper's owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong.
Soon-Shiong aims to bring more ideological balance to the board and address concerns about biased media representation.
The Los Angeles Times recently faced criticism for not endorsing a candidate in the 2024 presidential election, a departure from its usual practice.
Jennings stated his role will focus on representing Americans who feel ignored or ridiculed by legacy media, emphasizing truth-based conservative commentary.
Soon-Shiong has outlined plans to clearly distinguish between news and opinion in the paper, as part of broader efforts to revamp its editorial approach.
