Cletus, I read your post about Romney possibly supplying finding to Bezos for purchase of WAPO; but, I must say, I do NOT see it as likely.
The price of WAPO to Bezos, whose net worth exceeds $100B, is less than pocket change ... less than a cup of coffee for most of us.
Would you become beholden to others for the purchase of a cup of coffee?
Go back to the beginning.
What is unique about the WaPo?
What is unique about Google?
What is unique about Bezos?
What is unique about Twitter?
Who owns Twitter?
Is Trump’s Twitter unfiltered?
How would the CIA be able to appear to “filter” twitters by Trump? Optics are everything, remember.
What is more credible to the public...WaPo or the Daily Shopper?
Is this old saying still in play? ‘Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel-full.’
Today’s “fact check” tweet-war is relevant...Trump tweets that the Obama’s home has a 10-foot wall. Fact Checkers on SJ sites (who employs them?) say, “!Wrong! The wall is only 8-feet! Trump is such an idiot.”
