Sure seems like he's gone back on his word when he allows stuff like this to be published:

He might be travelling the same path a significant amount of the time, but he isn't a Democrat at heart. He also went back on his promise to employ / pay his campaign staff through november no matter what.

I wish, to be fair, you'd just post the article(s) that are angering you so we can all see what we're talking about.

(16,616 posts)Did you listen to them during the Primaries? They were even critical of Mike Bloomberg. He doesn't control what they publish.

(26,874 posts)I figured Bloomberg News was a vanity project of his.
My ignorance.
I suppose it's admirable that he allows them editorial freedom, but I'm disappointed in their messaging.
