Trump Looking at Buying a Media Company

New York Times: “As comfortable as Mr. Trump may feel with Mr. Bannon’s 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 other people to buy one for him, so he can collect a big payout to go away later.

Hey, it worked for Al Gore.

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?
