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.

Poland’s Monetary Policy Council may reduce its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points next month if April’s inflation readout stays soft, according to policymaker Gabriela Maslowska .
Maslowska’s stance has changed since March when she envisaged rate cuts only late in 2025 or early next year. Her comments echo those of other MPC members as well as central bank Governor Adam Glapinski , who unexpectedly embraced monetary easing earlier this month.
