The purchase of The Baltimore Sun is further proof that conservative billionaires understand the power of media control. Why don’t their liberal counterparts get it?
Unfortunately that’s not really true. Silicon Valley has deep roots in Libertarianism. Some of them might talk the “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” talk, but that’s becoming more and more rare. People like Marc Andreesen, Peter Thiel, Musk, Bezos, Zuck, et al are deeply terrifying, and are openly espousing racist and eugencist beliefs.
Bill Gates is pretty decent these days. In fact he probably always was a decent human being, but his poor business practices overshadowed that in the past
Actually he’s a deeply terrible person. Even outside of swallowing up and destroying competition and pushing monopolistic business practices, he was a tyrant to work for, treated everyone around him like shit, sexually harassed multiple women, and has ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Wow. I had no idea. I’m sure you’re right, I don’t really follow US media very well. I just remember seeing him give a cool gift during secret santa on reddit and thinking “Huh this guy actually turned out okay”.

Hmm ok, I thought it was more liberal there. Especially because I’ve heard it’s a good and inclusive workplace etc. But like I said, I’m not very aware of the US so I stand corrected. Thank you.
