"If it's news, it should just be the facts, period. And if it's an opinion, that's maybe an opinion of the news, and that's what I call now a voice. And so, we want voices from all sides to be heard, and we want the news to be just the facts," he explained.

Soon-Shiong came under fire after he quashed the editorial board’s planned endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in the final days leading up to the 2024 election.

Three members of the LA Times’ editorial board resigned in protest over the paper’s non-endorsement. The paper had previously endorsed Democratic candidates in every presidential race since 2008.

KAMALA HARRIS CALLS IT ‘DISAPPOINTING’ THAT WASHINGTON POST, LA TIMES DIDN'T ENDORSE, RIPS BILLIONAIRES ‘CLUB’

Soon-Shiong wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, over the weekend that he wants a paper that’s "fair and balanced so that all voices are heard and we can respectfully exchange every American’s view...from left to right to the center." "Coming soon. A new Editorial Board. Trust in media is critical for a strong democracy," he said.

"It is our responsibility to maintain democracy, to have the views of all our California readers, in fact, the views of all the national readers to be aired. Because if we just have the one side, it becomes nothing else but an echo chamber," he said.

"And so, it's going to be risky and difficult. I'm going to take a lot of heat, which I already am, but you know, I come from the position that really it's important for all voices to be heard."

AMERICA CHEERS!!!!!❤️🇺🇸❤️
