And I made no mention of political orientation, please stop with the tired idea that this is a conservative/liberal issue. I have more in common with a redneck in Alabama than I do with Jeff Bezos. Stop falling for their traps.
- lukas099 3y agoWhat I meant is that a lot of rich people support more re-distributive economic policies, like high marginal taxes and expansion of welfare.
- BowBun 3y agoSorry I misunderstood your point. You're right that they tend to support more socialistic policies, though I don't necessarily believe in how much they actually want these policies passed. They all greatly benefit from the status quo. In the cases of these newspapers, it's clear they're used to hold political power and push narratives. The willingness for that billionaire to take on CNN for $1 despite it losing money shows that I think.
