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.
Europe’s largest bond futures exchange will launch a contract for debt issued by the European Union in September, a move it says will boost liquidity for the bloc’s securities.
Eurex Clearing AG, a division of Deutsche Börse AG, said Wednesday that the product will start trading on Sept. 10. The exchange had previously targeted a launch last year, but postponed it saying a key pre-requisite was that the EU bond program became sustainable and of long-term nature. Since then, rival Intercontinental Exchange Inc. has initiated a similar product.
