The vast majority of the letters to the editor we receive on Donald Trump take a position opposing the president. This was the case during his candidacy for president, and it has been so since his inauguration.
But the masthead changes at the Los Angeles Times this week—in which the paper’s top editors were replaced and a new publisher was brought in—unleashed a steady flow of criticism by readers upset over the paper’s coverage of the president. Several letter writers expressed hope that The Times would continue to be what they consider an excellent newspaper under its new bosses, but many other readers said the paper needs to make changes.
Their advice to The Times’ new leadership: Reassess and change your journalism as it relates to Trump and Republicans, or risk losing more readers. Here are some of their letters.
