He’s a dem.
Please read my post # 20. Of course, he's a Dem. I've known that since I first heard of him when he bought the New York Daily News in the 1990s.
There was a time, up until somewhere in the 1970s, when the New York Daily News was a subsidiary of the Tribune Corporation, and was considered "conservative" - as was its "parent," the Chicago Tribune.
A Rat you say?
You could never tell it from reading the U S News and World Report could you.
Ahh, that’s a joke son, a joke.
