Bloomberg Might Stop Political Coverage If Boss Runs

December 6, 2018 at 4:07 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Michael Bloomberg told Radio Iowa that if he ran for president, he would likely move to sell his media company or place it into a blind trust.

Said Bloomberg: “Quite honestly, I don’t want all the reporters I’m paying to write a bad story about me.”

One option he noted, would be to “not cover politics at all,” essentially stopping all political coverage on his media properties.
