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.

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.
‘Washington Post’ won’t endorse in White House race for first time since 1980s (NPR)
‘Los Angeles Times’ editor resigns after newspaper withholds presidential endorsement (NPR)
Thank you. I don’t have the energy.
No worries. Crazy times we live in. Have lived in. Continue to live in. Tiring, indeed.
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.
