I wouldn’t put it passed the NYTs to be influenced by the likes of Carlos Slim

...influenced by? More than that! Carlos Slim, a Mexican multi-billionaire, ranking between #1 to #7 in wealth in the world since 2010, rescued the NYT in 2009 (a $250 million dollar loan) when it was losing employees, ads and subscribers rapidly. With his right to invest activated, his now 16% of the family-owned company, the NYT does not have to worry about subscribers any more.

Jeff Bezos owns the WaPo and Warren Buffet has invested in several newspapers. Our chance with Trump is probably a one-time thing before our country is completely controlled by a few oligarchs, as is Mexico.
