Journalist Harry Litman has announced his resignation as an editorial writer for Los Angeles Times after Patrick Soon-Shiong has made clear he intends to take the papper in a pro-Trump direction. Litman says,
"The idea of balance is fundamentally misplaced when on one side of the balance is a sociopathic liar like Donald Trump."

And not to overlooked as we consider the Litman story:
"Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Wednesday expressed his optimism about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's next term and suggested he would 'help' the Republican gut regulations."

It's all about the money, tax cuts and deregulation, for these men whose souls are shriveled like qwizened nuts.

@wdlindsy Another asshole who may spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder?
@wdlindsy He's not just a journalist. AFAIR he was also a federal prosecutor.
@ThePolishDispatch Thanks for noting this.
