Sounds like an objective newspaper that can
be trusted to cover the news fairly, right?

Over a year before the 2020
general election, before the first ballot is cast in the Democratic primary,
the Los Angeles Times editorial board has released an editorial series that
clearly shows the paper's editors' obsession with beating Trump, regardless of who his opponent is.
The paper proudly rolled out
the editorial series Friday, and titled it, "Beating Trump." The series contains a litany of
complaints about the Trump administration and features pieces that express the
editorial board's angst about the fact that Trump is president, such as "Undoing the great mistake of 2016," "Trump's presidency is a trainwreck. Let us count the ways,"
and "Cleaning up Trump's mess."
Not being content with several
thousand words of complaints about Trump, a substantial portion of the series
is dedicated to helpful coaching for Democrat voters with regards to which
candidate to pick.
One such piece argues
explicitly that Democrats should forget their policy concerns and preferences
and instead focus on picking a candidate who can defeat Trump, regardless of
what that candidate believes. In the editorial, titled, "Sorry, electability matters," the author argues that
"the single most important issue in 2020 is ending the misrule of Donald
Trump," apparently at any costs and no matter what a rival Democrat might
do or believe.
Another piece argues for
Democrats to put aside all their differences in policy in order to unite for
the only goal that matters: having a president not named Donald Trump. The
article, entitled, "Moderate and progressive Democrats have to unite to win backthe White House in 2020," argues that the only issue that matters is
not being Trump.
Other editorials in the series
examine whether any of the Democrats in the field are too old to beat Trump, and whether any of the Democrats can effectively counteract the
race baiting that Trump allegedly engages in.
Of course, the editorial board
of the Los Angeles Times has been arguing for the better part of four years
that defeating Trump is the only thing that matters, having said essentially the same thing during the 2016 election, and on
numerous occasions since. Nonetheless, the Times' editors
appear to believe that they have finally found the right combination of words
that will convince the country to think like they do.
