I normally don’t simply send on an excellent article written by someone else, but I’m making an exception for this one: https://www.cjr.org/analysis/trump-public-press-bezos-soon-shiong-billionaire-owners-endorsements-scandal-los-angeles-times-washington-post.php.
By Norm Pearlstine, one of the giants in American journalism: former managing editor of Time, The Wall Street Journal, and former chief content officer at Bloomberg, when he hired me to work as a research director at Bloomberg 2012-14.
A scholar, a gentleman, and one of the most important and influential forces in American journalism over the last 50 years.
I won’t give away the bottom line, it speaks for itself. But please read it.
I hope to be back later this month with my promised third installment of post-election thoughts.
Best for the new year.
Bob
