“Sometimes if it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.”
I could possibly agree with you, but what did Newscorp get out of it and why was it reported from the NY Times, a liberal rag with a terrible history of lies?
From what I got out of the article, the lobbying efforts were for some really nothing situations like giving $15 an hour to newspaper people and property rights for dead people. There must be more they didn’t tell us, which is not a surprise.

I gotta agree with you there. The legislation under question seems relatively minor. Yet News Corp paid big bucks for a book that would almost certainly flop.
Cuomo has been mentioned as a possible Dem candidate for president in 2020. So perhaps News Corp is just buying a little insurance/influence here. Much the same way the banks paid Hillary big bucks for boilerplate speeches back in 2014.
