FOX: The investment banking world is buzzing that the controversial chief executive of Amazon.com and owner of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, is sniffing around on a potential purchase of one of AT&T’s most valued assets, the Cable News Network, bankers tell FOX Business.
A person close to Bezos says as of now there is no real interest. “There has been zero talk on this,” according to the source.
FOX Business has not been able to confirm whether Bezos has had even informal talks on the deal or whether the speculation is simply a product of investment banker chatter which is often a catalyst for deal making even before talks commence. That holds especially true when deal making speculation swirls about someone of Bezos’s caliber — the world’s richest man with a net worth of $200 billion per Forbes. more here
Umm, if there is no interest, why is this even a story?
My guess is that there is an interest, but my history shows about a 50% correct rate.
So? Let Bozos buy CNN. It’s his money, let him burn it as he wishes. Me? If I had any Bozos backed investments, I would sell, NOW!
I kinda wish he’d buy a football team instead so he can lose his ass.
No,we just need to find the tape of him saying the n-word and force him out.
Based on what some black, part-time Amazon drivers have said about how they crack the whip, it’s only a matter of time. Deliver 12 packages 60 miles apart in 2 hrs or you’re fired.
That and Prime Day sucked for the 10th year in a row and they used that as an excuse to lay people off.
Sounds like Fox Business is just trying to make all of the CNN on-air deadwood shit themselves and start stabbing each other in the back.
Seriously, CNN deadwood, I mean, talent, Y’all have nothing to worry about. That tater fellow who’s obsessed with Fox would know if something was up, and he’d be the first to tell you. Now knock off the DM’s and focus, people. There’s an election next week.
No hurry. Just wait until the price gets down to Newsweek level…
Hey, the guy has 200 Bil. What’s petty cash to him? 500 Mil?
Instead of Zorkerbrain, Bezos could run as a Democrat in 2024 and as a nation, the U.S. would be his company store. Oh gawd!!
