Related: About this forumTrump Looking at Buying a Media Company
New York Times: As comfortable as Mr. Trump may feel with Mr. Bannons style of politics, their unconventional alliance, and the possibility that the coming weeks could resemble a conservative publicity tour more than a conventional White House run, fueled speculation that Mr. Trump was already looking past November.In recent months, Mr. Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, have quietly explored becoming involved with a media holding, either by investing in one or by taking one over, according to a person close to Mr. Trump who was briefed on those discussions.

He wants others to buy it, collect cash, but have no losses when the thing finally goes bankrupt.

He wants other people to buy one for him, so he can collect a big payout to go away later.

Nice unfounded, ugly right-wing smear ya got there. Oh, and I think there's some toilet paper on your shoe.

(5,299 posts)6. Ask the people who got fired from CurrentTV
I think Stephanie Miller, Maysoon Zayid, John Fugelsang, Jackie Schechner, Cenk Uygur, Bill Press, Joy Behar, and Keith Olbermann might have a different opinion than yours.
Or do none of these people meet your purist definition either?

(28,341 posts)10. Your craven right-wing smear comparing Al Gore to Donald Trump
is not a sentiment I have seen uttered by any of those people.
