What is happening with editorial boards is not normal. You need to understand this first.
They are not part of the newsroom, so anyone telling you that is lying. What happened at the LAT and WaPo are the beginning. Have you not read history? They come for you. You just think it’s more steps away.

What are you referring to?
Major stories from last week, concerning the Washington Post and L.A. Times refusing to endorse a presidential candidate. In both situations, the ownership veto’d the paper’s editorial board, which traditionally endorses candidates.

‘Los Angeles Times’ editor resigns after newspaper withholds presidential endorsement (NPR)
So the owners are being threatened and / or bribed by Trump to keep quiet? Or are they that scared of the fallout in the near future?
Yes. They want to be positioned to benefit from government contracts.
Thank you. I don’t have the energy.
No worries. Crazy times we live in. Have lived in. Continue to live in. Tiring, indeed.
This is not where I’m going to provide media literacy. We’re a bit past that.
So you’re speaking only to people who are not aware of the #1 or #2 biggest story of the last 24 hours, but are eager to get themselves fully up to speed on it from somewhere else, based on only the vaguest of hints?
That’s fair. I presumed exactly the knowledge I was trying to share.
Well at least you got a chance to huff your own farts.
Let’s be a bit more careful than that.
The level of self-reflection you exhibit in this thread is absolutely abysmal.
Okay, well it seems a bit odd for a news community mod to post a vague rant, which isn’t news, and then not explain themselves.
If you found that vague, I question your news diet.
