"The [insert newspapers' name here] today gave a master class in reputation squandering".

Hey. They are *the press*. What did you expect?

I'm a Christian. My faith has been repeatedly mischaracterized and misrepresented in the regular press. So the press do not have any "reputation" to begin with. Oh well...







When billionaire Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post, it was portrayed as a billionaire doing a civic good, saving a struggling but vital institution. Same thing when billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong bought the L.A. Times. A positive for the general welfare.

This week should be a lesson, or a reminder, that billionaires don't do things for the general welfare. Ever.

Please remember this the next time a billionaire supposedly does something "to help people."
