The online edition is a joke. Today’s top news story is a 2-day old story. They just reshuffle articles that have been published for days. Im switching to The Washington Post.

At the top of the home page. PLEASE design a way to opt out of that. If I’m playing something else, this app interrupts that. I’ve also never wanted to watch this “premium content.” Please please please remove it from the top of the home page.

Whatever history this might have had, it’s just a propaganda outlet for the guy who bought it out. Way too many incidents of him interfering to trust the publication anymore.

When it comes to a subscription charge I am unaware of, initially I thought maybe I did click or buy something or a trial I forgot about. Granted did not have the app, and upon extensive attempts and searches through my various accounts, none of which were registered or at best prompted incessantly to upgrade to a paid subscription; I couldn’t even call or reach a support line to request help accessing this $16/Week service, initiated at 4am on Christmas Day… Dead links to support site, No phone number leading to anyone. I would have settled for an automated service. Thanks to my bank, they discovered I had been charged more than I was aware of. After the FIRST forced stop payment and reconciliation of my balances, I thought it was a scam and over. Two weeks later, Again. New credit card and the week and a half it took to replace. Same issue. I hadn’t even used the card, let alone their site. But even after all the opt outs buried deep within their labyrinth of a website, my bank insisted they be permanently disabled as a vendor from my accounts. That, is what it takes to never be provided support if you lose a username or password you never had, or be provided a receipt or invoice for the transaction, or an email of any of it taking place, but yet could t look me up by payment either because Nobody, is, home. LA Times, I would rather read a Ketchup bottle, than ever give you my business, I am only glad I went through this before my first article or support member ever got to even thank me for my subscription, if you do find a record of it, it will be the best investigative reporting you’ve ever done.

How far they have fallen, pushing misinformation, and right wing conspiracies. Don’t waste your time

Recent internal messaging by the owner shows that the LA times will not be the bearer of truth but a monger of misinformation in order to appear politically “centrist.” Facts are facts and have no political bias. Americans want facts, not propaganda.

This once great newspaper has unfortunately lost its editorial independence and is no longer allowed to publish anything that its billionaire owner thinks might impede the radical right's consolidation of power. It's not exactly the journalistic equivalent of Elon Musk's X – not yet, anyway – but it's not really a newspaper anymore, either. Sad.

This paper has been corrupted by billionaires and their interests. It is not news it is propaganda.

There’s nothing wrong with the app. However, a select amount of the editorial content the app delivers is subject to the whims of the owner’s daughter. There not much I can do to affect the whims of plutocrats, but they can exercise them on their own dime. I’m out.

Unsubscribed, deleted app. The owner just killed the stalwart Southern’s California newspaper.
