Pro-Trump CNN contributor Scott Jennings said he has joined the L.A.Times editorial board in an effort to bring more ideological balance to the outlet.
Jennings confirmed the development on Friday after Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Times, announced it on social media.
‘I plan to represent those Americans who believe they are often ignored or even ridiculed in legacy media.’
“Growing the board with experts who have thoughtful balanced views and new candidates are accepting the challenge to join us! Way to go Scott and thanks for accepting,” wrote Soon-Shiong.
The balancing of the board comes after several employees quit from the Times in protest of an order from the owner to list explain the advantages and disadvantages of the policies of both candidates rather than endorse one over the other.
