>>a for-profit business holdings company owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
the Mormon Church also owns Bonneville Broadcasting which
has among its stations “Washington Post Radio” in DC
(the WaPo doesn’t own the stations but puts their content
on them)
Wikipedia: “Bonneville owns about 30 radio stations and one television station...On January 4, 2006, Bonneville and The Washington Post announced that the frequencies currently used by WTOP, 1500 kHz and 107.7 MHz, would be reassigned to a new station, “Washington Post Radio.” It’s kind of a weird setup; it looks like WaPo owns the station but under FCC
rules (unless grandfathered in) they can’t, I believe,
so I think Bonneville owns them and has the WaPo running them.
The LDS Church Inc has several “for profit” companies who own many media outlets as you have so aptly stated.
They own agricultural businesses, insurance companies, Real Estate conglomerates. It is extrememly difficult in most cases to trace LDS money. They use venture capitalists like Mitt Romney to manage their assets.
Kinda makes you wonder just how Mitt made his huge fortune doesn’t it. Venture Capitalists like Mitt invest money for others. It would be an interesting task to dive into and sort out. I don’t know much about stocks, bonds, trading, umbrella companies, and venture capital, but I do know that many of the LDS heirarchy are CEOs of companies that fit the description of the above. I do know that the LDS Church has not published financial data for years (since the 1950’s). Do Americans really want Mitt for POTUS?
