The Los Angeles Times’s weak hit piece against Karen Bass’s top opponent

Published



Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass allowed homes in the city to burn to the ground, and has failed to lead a competent rebuilding process. The Los Angeles Times is now claiming that Bass’s failures are proof that her opponents are unfit for office, in a despicable hit job designed to protect Bass’s reelection campaign.

The Los Angeles Times wrote a hit piece on Spencer Pratt, a Republican former reality television show star who has emerged as Bass’s top polling opponent thus far. The hit piece dives into Pratt’s residence details: He lists a vacant lot in Los Angeles as his legal residence, but he lists a home in Santa Barbara County as his mailing address, and he is currently living in that Santa Barbara home. Surely, this must be a scandal, and the Los Angeles Times “report” suggests that Pratt can and should be declared ineligible to run for mayor.
