'Unbiased'
Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and billionaire media mogul who owns the eponymous news organisation, announced on November 24 that he would seek the Democratic nomination for president. Separately, he is spending $100m of his own money on digital ads attacking Trump. In response to the Trump campaign announcement, Bloomberg News quoted editor-in-chief John Micklethwait as saying, "The accusation of bias couldn't be further from the truth. "We have covered Donald Trump fairly and in an unbiased way since he became a candidate in 2015 and will continue to do so despite the restrictions imposed by the Trump campaign." After Bloomberg announced his White House candidacy, Micklethwait released a memo stating the news agency would "continue our tradition of not investigating Mike (and his family and foundation) and will extend the same policy to his rivals in the Democratic primaries." However, he said, the business-focused news organisation would continue "to investigate the Trump administration, the government of the day."DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.
