(35,425 posts)Has given money to both parties (as billionaires like to do) - but hasn't donated since 2012. He may not be as bad as Murdock or others, but he's also not a leftist. If he fancies himself non-partisan than that could explain both sides being shown on his network. I don't watch much TV so I'm not really familiar with these news programs - I subscribe to online papers instead. Jewish background, UPenn, could go either way this next election I'd expect given current events.

I also saw him referred to as a democrat by one source (when doing a general search), but I'd take that with a grain of salt given the donations to both parties. He may well be an ok guy, I just tend to have some reservations with billionaires controlling the media.
