Mercer, the secretive, ultra-conservative recluse? I’m sure he’ll use his influence to promote Western democratic ideals.

As soon as the Mercers buy a majority of their shares or demand to be on the board it’ll be the end of Time Magazine.

Fox, Sinclair, Time Inc is the next apple to fall as the Reich gathers in media companies.
We’ll soon learn that we have always been at war with Eurasia.

Information is power. Purchasing “information” and then shaping it is power, many times done corruptly.

maybe, but here’s a reminder about who else was considered a potential buyer.

It would be interesting if Thiel were to go there, but right now, I’ll just stay in ‘standby mode’.

Next we’ll learn that Trump holds shares of NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, etc. Wait…we won’t learn that - because he won’t release his tax returns.

Buying a seat on the board, at best. It’s not because it’s a great investment.

The shitstain Trumpzi who owns the National Enquirer is also rumored to be looking at buying Time, but he doesn’t have the financial wherewithal to pull it off himself. But get Breitbart’s sugar daddy involved and now you’ve got something.

that’s why i’m waiting to see what comes from all of this.

It would be interesting (and somewhat terrifying) if all of them pooled their resources together and attempted to force a sale, but right now, lets see what happens.

Did he need to sell any of his Pravda shares to finance the purchase?
