The Deadline article presented the story from the perspective of the LA Theater Alliance and did not include the context that the group has been struggling financially even before the pandemic. It's almost tailored to go directly into the right-wing culture war media machine like a bullet.

A bit below about Deadline's owner Jay Penske who also owns Variety, Hollywood Reporter and Rolling Stone.

The article that I linked weakens its case by conflating the award given to Penske's father by Trump with the son himself. If I read it more closely I would not have linked. Still, I'm very wary of Deadline, etc.
