LA Times Guild begs subscribers not to cancel after editor resigns over owner’s refusal to allow paper to endorse Kamala Harris

The Los Angeles Times declined to endorse a presidential candidate after endorsing Democrats since 2008. Now, the editorials editor has decided to resign over it. Mariel Garza quit on Wednesday because she was "not okay" with the paper's silence on backing Vice President Kamala Harris for president. That silence led the Donald Trump campaign to say that "even her fellow Californians know she's not up for the job."

The lack of an endorsement and the resignation of Garza prompted the LA Times Guild to release their own statement begging readers not to give up their subscriptions, reminding them that subscriptions pay the salaries of those staffed on the paper. "We remain deeply concerned about The Times' owner's decision to block a planned endorsement," they said, going on to say that they are "pressing for answers."
