Media Bias by Omission: Bloomberg Doesn't Investigate Democratic Presidential Candidates
As of Nov. 2019, Bloomberg admits that it engages in bias by omission with a Lean Left bent. Mike Bloomberg, New York City mayor and founder of the financial software company that owns Bloomberg, officially entered the 2020 Democratic presidential race in Nov. 2019. According to a memo sent to editorial and research staff obtained by CNBC and verified by a Bloomberg spokesperson, Bloomberg News announced it would refrain from investigating Mayor Bloomberg and his Democratic rivals.
“We will continue our tradition of not investigating Mike (and his family and foundation ) and we will extend the same policy to his rivals in the Democratic primaries. We cannot treat Mike’s democratic competitors differently from him,” Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait said in the memo.
In Dec. 2019, President Donald Trump's campaign announced it would stop credentialing Bloomberg News reporters for rallies and other events until the outlet resumed investigating Democratic candidates.
Mike Bloomberg is founder and 89% shareholder in Bloomberg LP, the financial software company that owns Bloomberg News.
Canada’s Liberal Party held onto crucial ground in the Toronto and Montreal regions, helping secure a path for Mark Carney to remain prime minister even as support slipped from the last federal election.
As of early Tuesday, Liberal candidates had won 38 of 53 Toronto-area ridings and 29 of 40 in the Montreal area, according to preliminary results from Elections Canada. While the party lost some ground compared to the 2021 elections — with Conservative Party candidates flipping seats north of Toronto as well as York Centre — the strong urban showing helped Carney clinch victory.
