he Los Angeles Times’ owner Patrick Soon-Shiong on Wednesday revealed he has been working “behind the scenes” to create a “bias meter” for every article that comes out of the newspaper.
He said he hopes the new tool, which will be backed by artificial intelligence, will be released by January.
It’s the businessman’s latest project to balance out the newsroom, after he vowed to bring more conservative voices to the paper and faced heated backlash for blocking the paper’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
