'Inexplicable': Billionaire newspaper owners preemptively 'kissing the ring' of Trump - Velshi - MSNBC



The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times will not endorse presidential candidates in this election cycle, breaking tradition at both papers. Both editorial boards were preparing to endorse Harris but were ultimately stopped by their billionaire owners.

Media journalist Oliver Darcy calls the decisions “preemptively bowing to the pressure” of a potential Trump administration. - Aired on 10/26/2024.

they got the money. Why don't they use it to beat Tr**p instead of cowering in fear from him.

Drumpf will lower your taxes (and remove regulations/oversight/labor laws) and you'll make more money.
Drumpf will let you give him some of your money to express your loyalty.
Then he will just take all your money.
Don't you like your money, Mr. Billionaire? Would you like to be broke and in prison instead of rich? Then keep supporting Drumpf - don't worry, you won't have to support him for long (before he just takes all you have).

I don't need to read these two rags ever again. Why would I trust them to tell me the truth?
