According to FOX Business, bankers are speculating that the world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, who owns Amazon.com and the Washington Post, may be interested in purchasing CNN.Although such a purchase would cost a reported $10 billion, Bezos is worth an estimated $193 billion, so he can afford it. A person close to Bezos denied the rumor, telling The Daily Mail, “There has been zero talk on this.”CNN is owned by AT&T; “AT&T, which bought Time Warner for $85 billion in 2016, has been saddled with tens of billions of debt, and its shares have fallen by more than 31 percent this year,” The Daily Mail noted.

Heaven help us # 1, I wouldn't think that's possible, but I've been wrong before.

Bezos wants to be a bigger player in the Left Wing sandbox. Maybe he fancies himself an American Soros?

CNN can't be saved. Washington post is garbage and it's tanking.

Apparently jeffy needs more losses to offset his income.

They need a bailout. Bezos needs to hoodwink people. Meeting of the minds.

If not for airports around the country, CNN wouldn't have any viewers at all.

I think the new guy at AT&T would sell CNN to get rid of it. Bezos paid a $1 for WaPo and assumed the debt, which is a similar case at CNN.

In my opinion, Bezos does not look at left-wing media outlets as potential money-makers in and of themselves. But if they broadcast the type of news that China finds pleasing, and if that enables Bezos' other businesses to be given favorable shares of the China market, his investment in left-wing media would be money well spent.

Maybe he could buy Portland and close it to the public.

Dang. If Bezos would hold off for maybe another year, I could buy CNN myself. Heck, I have several rolls of nickels saved up already.

Is the Sherman Antitrust Act dead letter law?
It almost seems to be.

He doesn’t care about the profits. He is focused on the power. CNN gives him access to a lot of power.

Good people won't use Amazon and feed this terrible person more money.
I avoid that source, almost never use it in the last five years.

If he is smart and regardless of your feelings about him he is that, I suggest he buy CNN and move it farther to the right than FOX is now and blow everyone's mind.
If you want to make a mark Jeff leave the pack and join Trump to make America really great again. Amazon is a well run company, it was a genius idea, why not go against the odds again and buck the tide?
Stand out among the titans of tech and really go for all the marbles? People use Amazon but hate you, why not become the people's voice instead of following the 3 stooges who are basically communists and want to sell America to the Chinese?

# 10 you are of course right it's all about China. All of them want a piece of the action despite horrible human right violations and a goal of spreading dystopia around the globe.
