Did You Know That The New York Times Is Majority Owned By A Mexican????

[RodISHI]

Okay. I admit. I did know that one.

Did you know that the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos? He's long been worried that Trump may sniff an antitrust case at Amazon.

Everyone has an axe to grind against Trump and none of them are honest.

I heard about that one.....but I can sort of understand that.
This Mexican guy is a bit of a shock....nevermind the absolute irony of it.

So basically these rich billionaires have a problem with Trump.....supposedly he's gonna make them a little less rich to the benefit of our people.

No surprise here. His family are Catholic, Lebanese imports to Mexico.

And none of these liberal assholes calling me a racist even noticed that I mentioned this prick gave Hillary $1 million dollars.

He also owns/owned Tracfone (cheater's to the poor and gets paid for it by fed subsidies that are there to help the poor through taxation on the phone bills). Now if you take that a step further and go around the globe connecting the dots between the Clinton enterprises and their staunch big money supporters you will see some interesting stuff. (coincidences?maybe/maybe not)

The stench in politics usually leads to the Clintons......and now Obama.

Well there is enough stench to go around that's for sure. I wouldn't call the Republicans all angels either.

 

[Preacher]

Slim's family is actually from Lebanon and he is NOT Mexican. Look it up. He is Arab but for some reason LOVES investing in Israel so probably has some Jew blood in him somewhere.

The Clinton Foundation, which helped more than 400,000,000 people world wide was investigated by the Republican Senate, the Republican House, the FBI, even the CIA looked into foreign contacts and every newspaper and media outlet in the world investigated the Clinton Foundation and they all found nothing. Just conspiracies. Hillary was the most vetted candidate in US History.

A single reporter looked at the illegal and uncertified Trump Foundation. And what did he find?

I didn't think to check before, but I feel this is a glaring conflict of interest.....the NEW YORK TIMES IS MAJORITY OWNED (17%) BY A MEXICAN NATIONAL!!!

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE???

Carlos Slim loan and investment
On January 20, 2009, The New York Times reported that its parent company, The New York Times Company, had reached an agreement to borrow $250 million from Carlos Slim, a Mexican businessman and the world's second richest person,[84] "to help the newspaper company finance its businesses".[85] The New York Times Company later repaid that loan ahead of schedule.[86] Since then, Slim has bought large quantities of the company's Class A shares, which are available for purchase by the public and offer less control over the company than Class B shares, which are privately held.[86] Slim's investments in the company included large purchases of Class A shares in 2011, when he increased his stake in the company to 8.1% of Class A shares,[87] and again in 2015, when he exercised stock options—acquired as part of a repayment plan on the 2009 loan—to purchase 15.9 million Class A shares.[86] As of March 7, 2016, Slim owned 17.4% of the company's Class A shares, according to annual filings submitted by the company.[88][89]

Although Slim is the largest shareholder in the company, his investment does not give him the ability to control the newspaper, as his stake allows him to vote only for Class A directors, who compose just a third of the company's board.[86] According to the company's 2016 annual filings, Slim did not own any of the company's Class B shares.[88]


Carlos Slim Helú (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkaɾlos esˈlim eˈlu]; born January 28, 1940) is a Mexican business magnate, investor, and philanthropist.[1][2] From 2010 to 2013, Slim was ranked as the richest person in the world.[3][4] He derived his fortune from his extensive holdings in a considerable number of Mexican companies through his conglomerate, Grupo Carso.[5] As of 31 July 2016 he was #7 on Forbes listing of The World's Billionaires with a net worth estimated at more than $50 billion.[6]

His conglomerate includes education, health care, industrial manufacturing, transportation, real estate, media, energy, hospitality, entertainment, high-technology, retail, sports, and financial services.[1][2][7][8] He accounts for 40% of the listings on the Mexican Stock Exchange,[7] while his net worth is equivalent to about 6 percent of Mexico’s gross domestic product.[9]

In 1995 Slim established Fundación Telmex, a broad-ranging philanthropic foundation, which as he announced in 2007 had been provided with an asset base of US$4 billion to establish Carso Institutes for Health, Sports and Education. Furthermore, it was to work in support of an initiative of Bill Clinton to aid the people of Latin America.[19] Because Mexican foundations are not required to publish their financial information, it is not possible to confirm Slim's claims of charitable giving through a public source.[84] The foundation has organized Copa Telmex, an amateur sports tournament, recognized in 2007 and 2008 by Guinness World Records as having the most participants of any such tournament in the world. Together with Fundación Carlos Slim Helú, Telmex announced in 2008 that it was to invest more than US$250 million in Mexican sports programs, from grass-roots level to Olympic standard.[19] Telmex sponsored the Sauber F1 team for the 2011 season.[87] [88] [89] Telmex donated at least $1 million to the Clinton Foundation.[90]

Trump said "Some Mexicans don't rape".

Trump said, "A Mexican can't be a good judge".

Trump called a Hispanic Miss Universe "Mrs. Housekeeping".

And in spite of all that, Trump likes Taco Bowls.

He is technically correct. Some aren't rapist, if a judge is more for La Raza than America I'd say they are bias and not fit to be a judge, and Taco Bowls are yummy along with tortillas.

That's just the media using Trump's habit of keeping things simple against him.
The fact is Carlos has a vested interest in keeping that wall from being built. Perhaps he gets kickbacks from all of the human and drug-trafficking. Or maybe he likes the fact that all of those illegals keep sending U.S Dollars back to Mexico, which is 30% if Mexico's GDP. More money for Mexico means more money in his own pockets.
The Washington Compost owner also has a conflict of interest considering the fact that Trump may do something to his bottom-line at Amazon.

It's no small wonder these two rich pricks have it in for Trump......which is really funny because they're helping the party that supposedly hates rich motherfuckers like themselves.

Yep.....so of course he has zilch to do with how the company is run......but only because you say so.

Never said otherwise. You said it was majority owned (in caps and bold no less). Last time I looked 17% was not the majority of anything..

The Times conservative. LOL
The last time a reporter sniffed along the edges of giving some credence to global warming 'deniers' views, subscribers demanded he be fired or they would cancel their subscriptions.
Ain't groupthink grand?

Since there is zero scientific support for the deniers, the subscribers were correct. They didn't want trash published in their newspaper.

​

The Times is NOT majority owned by this man. He owns 17% of the Class A shares which gives him equity but no control. These appear to be non-voting shares.

To be the majority shareholder, he'd have to own 51% of the voting shares.

 

[Dr Grump]

A pure deflection. He has more shares than anyone. So he owns a majority.
So quit wasting my time, loser.

Um, no he doesn't. He owns the biggest shareholding. If he decides he wants to do something and 51 per cent of the rest of the shareholders tell him to fuck off, there is nothing he can do. Therefore, no, he doesn't own a majority. Please look up the word majority.
