should tell people all they need to know. He could buy the Washington Post for relative pennies to him, and now had a vehicle to push his agenda. One could argue the same thing has happened with Elon and Twitter, although Elon was kind of forced to overpay for his bully pulpit.

As soon as Trump won the election, MSM started cutting weight and asking for people to take pay cuts. They didn't mind overpaying for their agenda, until their agenda failed. Then there was no point in overpaying anymore.
