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.

A Russian missile briefly entered Poland’s airspace on Friday after Moscow attacked neighboring Ukraine with the biggest aerial barrage of the 22-month invasion, army commanders said in Warsaw.
The missile flew over the border at around 7 a.m. and traveled about 40 kilometers (25 miles) deep into the Polish airspace before returning to Ukraine, General Wieslaw Kukula told a news conference.
Poland, a NATO and European Union member, has been on alert ever since a stray rocket killed two people in a village in eastern Poland more than a year ago, following one of Russia’s previous attacks on Ukraine. Another missile was discovered in the woods in central Poland earlier this year, five months after it entered the country’s airspace.
