Carlos Slim, richest man in Mexico, (fourth richest in the world), owns the New York Slimes.
Jeff Bezos, second richest man in USA (after Bill Gates), bought the Washington Compost for $1. Note that you were not invited to bid.
I’ll just add that Bezos has a 600 million dollar contract with the Intelligence Community - CIA.
...thanks, that’s likely the answer. They have super-rich types that keep sinking money into them - nasty stuff. Trump’s right regarding Bezos and Washington Post.
And so the next question becomes: Is it legal? Probably. Can something be done to end that crap? Good question - hard to think of anything that can work for us.
