Will Bloomberg News Ignore NYT Story on Bloomberg’s Massive Spending?
NewsBusters ^ | 2/18/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

No wonder liberal billionaire 2020 candidate Michael Bloomberg does not want his own news outlet investigating him. They might have to do journalism and risk exposing where his money has been going all these years.The liberal New York Times chose to do some actual journalism by digging up records on Bloomberg’s enormous spending between 1977 and 2019 in a report Feb. 15. Bloomberg spent "at least" a whopping $10 billion split between charitable and political causes. Some of those causes included: abortion, climate change and gun control. As of now, the billionaire has poured an unheard of $401 million just into his own personal campaign in the first three months of his bid. All of it came from his own wallet.

Good chance that when the riots end this summer in Milwaukee, Bloomberg will have bought the Democratic nomination. Yet ~ 35% of the Democratic Party will not vote for him.

Bloomberg has been EXTREMELY selective of late on which stories they choose to promote of simply ignore.

Makes a person almost think there is a certain bias in their reporting.

“Bloomberg also dropped $100 million (a considerable increase from the $11 million in 2013) just in 2018 alone to help Democrats retake control of the House of Representatives, according to the Times.”

It is kind of scary if a president could do that. Spend enough to elect your own congress.

Bloomberg is essentially determining the price at which the DNC and it’s attendant “interest” groups can be bought. Unfortunately for these leftists, it is happening mostly out in the open.

My guess is Bloomberg will win the nomination. His trajectory upwards had happened very quickly with almost no push back. Not sure how Lefties accept this laying down but I have no doubt that most will. There is almost no endorsement money can’t buy apparently. The hypocrisy of Bernie campaigning for Bloomberg will, hopefully, teach all of the Bernie supporters not to worship a man but still somewhat doubtful.

The last Bloomberg commercial I saw said something like this:

He'll take on the NRA and save lives.

Okay. How many lives has the NRA taken? NONE.

So exactly how is 'taking on the NRA' going to save lives, Mikey?

It would look a bit fairer if the DNC just put its POTUS nomination up for an Ebay auction.

Between this lying rectum, Mini Mike and the other super rich billionaire rat/liar/rectum, Steyer.

#Mini Mike, I can just buy and bury you dumb Democrat bitches/voters!

I can’t figure out what he’s up to. He knows he can’t win, negative stories about him are being published from years ago but he’s still dropping millions. How much is Soros funding him?
