Almost immediately after buying it he killed a story about another wealthy friend's dog who bit someone.

Billionaires aren't buying media to make money, it's to control the media.

We need to do something about them before they can just buy terminator robots.

They can already buy the government, it won't take much longer till they don't need to.

Oh yes....

Those amazing profit margins from...
