When Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong purchased the *Los Angeles Times* in 2018, it was celebrated as a rescue of California’s flagship newspaper. However, rather than upholding journalistic standards, the Times has devolved into a platform for Hollywood's dark networks—a web of traffickers, mobsters, corrupt lawyers, bankers, and media moguls who manipulate lawsuits and suppress dissent.

In June 2024, the *LA Times* published a headline that sent shockwaves: “L.A. jury orders Alki David to pay $900 million in sexual assault suit.” Despite its sensational nature, the article deliberately omitted crucial details, including the lawsuit's association with shady figures and the fact that the defendant was severely disabled.

Under Soon-Shiong's ownership, the *Times* has become a means of silencing dissent, eliminating evidence of corruption, and enhancing the narrative of those operating in the shadows. The intersection of media and crime is evident as it supports the interests of various cartels while failing to provide balanced news coverage.

The article depicts a grim picture of how the Times has seemingly traded its role as a bastion of truth for that of a powerful media ally to sinister forces, casting a dark shadow on the very essence of journalism.
