Valin Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 National Review Zachary Evans November 25, 2019 Bloomberg News, the media outlet owned by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, has decided to refrain from conducting investigations of Democratic presidential candidates during the 2020 elections. On Sunday Bloomberg editor John Micklethwait sent a letter to staffers laying out the organization’s policy for covering the elections while its owner participates as a candidate. Micklethwait revealed that two of the outlet’s senior editors, David Shipley and Tim O’Brian, would be taking a leave of absence to join Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign. “We will continue our tradition of not investigating Mike (and his family and foundation) and we will extend the same policy to his rivals in the Democratic primaries,” Micklethwait wrote. “We cannot treat Mike’s competitors differently from him.” While investigations into the Democratic candidates will be out of bounds, the outlet will still carry on investigations into the Trump presidency.
