Caruso’s dad, Bass’ past

-

Re “How Caruso’s dad shaped his ambition,” Nov. 3

Seemingly every day you cover the many facets of Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso. On Nov. 3 it was a story about how his father shaped the candidate’s ambition.

It’s as if Caruso owned The Times. This is a far cry from fair and balanced coverage. Oh, and those posed photos!

Question: Where are all the front-page articles about Rep. Karen Bass? Mark Elson

Encino

While I found the piece on Caruso’s father interestin­g and question whether it merited frontpage status, I wonder if you will go into the same detail on Bass’ involvemen­t with the Venceremos Brigade, the Marxist group with which she went to Cuba multiple times in the 1970s.

It was not until thenDemocr­atic presidenti­al nominee Joe Biden was considerin­g her as his running mate in 2020 that she publicly expressed regret for her affinity for the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

That seems more relevant than what a candidate’s father did 60 years ago.
