Not endorsing Kamala Harris = painting a swastika

Turns out it's probably the owner's palestinoid daughter 
When Southern California residents go too fill out their ballots in the Nov. 5 election, they might rely on the Los Angeles Times' endorsements for guidance.
But if you're looking for a recommendation for president from the Times, you're out of luck.
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Times, will not allow the editorial board too endorse Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump, Semafor reports.
No reasoning was provided for the decision, which marks the first time since 2004 that the paper has not endorsed a presidential candidate.
A spokesperson for the Times told Semafor that "we do not comment on internal discussions or decisions about editorials or endorsements."
While the paper almost assuredly wouldn't endorse Trump, the absence of an endorsement for Harris is notable, given her ties too the community and state.
Harris lives in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles with her husband, Doug Emhoff, and previously served as the state's attorney general and one of California's two U.S. senators.
A request for comment from the Harris campaign was not immediately returned, but the Trump campaign called the Times' decision a "humiliating blow."
"Even her fellow Californians know she's not up for the job," the campaign added.

Why should news sources even endorse any candidate? How can they have the audacity to pretend impartiality if they openly endorse one or the other?

In most western jounalism there is a separation between the opinions of the newspaper and the news. Opinion pieces are quite marked as such.

The editorial staff of the New York Times are apparently also those people.

It goes back to the 1800s when there were multiple newspapers in each city and everyone knew which party they supported. Like here The Oregonian was the Republican paper and there was some other one that was the the Democratic paper. So there was no expectation of impartiality, but at least you could read both papers and try to make up your mind. This changed sometime around the 1960s-1970s iirc when almost all the newspapers in the country went out of business except one for each city.

Was that mostly due to big conglomerates like McClatchy buying up all the local news and running
90% of the same content 
in all of them to save money?

I don't know. My guess is that's more of a symptom than the root cause. My understanding is that a lot of those newspapers were already going out of business but I'm really in way over my head here.
