This is not unlike Fox and Enquirer burying negative stories about trump during the 2016 election season - weird how the trump campaign didn’t mind then
Bloomberg isn’t really running for president - he knows all he’s doing is spoiling. If he wanted to get trump out of office he would start pouring money into candidates who actually might get somewhere instead of this ridiculous sideshow. I wish he’d just go away already.
I don’t think it’s ethical journalism to bury any stories, the increase of biases in journalism is already bad enough. Let people form their own opinions. You, general you, can’t expect people to make informed, intelligent decisions when you bombarded them with biases. In 7th grade, I had a teacher, couldn’t tell you her name, lol, but I remember her emphasizing how important reading is, not just for entertainment but for developing critical thinking. So it seems to me, this control and biases of information reported, is another means of damaging our critical thinking.
I agree that Bloomberg should throw his financial backing and support into a candidate that might get somewhere. He had said earlier this year he wasn’t going to run then few months later throws his hat into the ring. I don’t think he’s that serious of a candidate or at least that he’s taken as a serious candidate.
No conflict of interest there.
