Donald Trump on NY Times: ‘Very Rich Mexican’ Carlos Slim ‘Owns a Big Chunk of the Paper,’ ‘Has a Lot of Power Over the Paper’
by MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY / 19 Feb 2016
Donald Trump is offering a possible explanation for the biased reporting on him by the New York Times.
“The New York Times is not exactly positive to Donald Trump, I can tell you that, and I’m very strong on illegal immigration and the border,” Trump told Stephen K. Bannon, executive chairman of Breitbart News and host of Breitbart News Daily on Sirius-XM’s Patriot.
“We either have a border or we don’t. If we don’t have a border, we don’t have a country. These people are pouring through like swiss cheese, drugs are pouring in. The Times never talks about the drugs, they never talk about the crime,” Trump said.
Bannon noted that Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim now has a significant ownership interest in the Times.
“Carlos Slim came in and I believe he now owns up to 15 percent [of the New York Times]. It’s an open secret in the newsroom that Carlos Slim is the guy that’s going to bail out the Times,” Bannon said, noting that some believe he “was looking for a platform to influence American policy.”
“Well, certainly, people should know about it,” Trump responded.
he gets richer off the US
and uses the money to buy NYTimes to try and influence elections ?
America, what a country.
It keeps getting more and more involved, a web of conspiring, manipulating, lying and distortion that goes on and on.
Trump is on this kind of stuff in a flash.
