LA Times "distorted" RFK Jr. op-ed

The billionaire-owned Los Angeles Times has been accused of making significant changes to the body and headline of an op-ed on the American health care system without informing the author, morphing what was meant to be a critique into a quasi-endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Political anthropologist and social psychiatrist Eric Reinhart penned the op-ed, initially titled “RFK Jr’s Wrecking Ball Won’t Fix Public Health." When it was published on Wednesday, he noticed the headline had been changed. The new version? “Trump’s healthcare disruption could pay off — if he pushes real reform.”
