In a New York Sun column this week, Ira Stoll reveals that “Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos [who also owns Amazon.com and is worth $85 BILLION], New York Times owner Carlos Slim [who own $65 BILLION], and Buffalo News owner Warren Buffett [who owns $73 BILLION], publicly pleading poverty, are asking Congress for a helping hand” in fending off new online advertising competitors.
