Hello, Lib Media? Bloomberg Censors, Threatens His Reporters in China
By Nicholas Fondacaro | February 18, 2020 11:46 PM EST

While ABC and CBS were largely putting aside the many controversies of former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to tout his rapid rise in the polls Tuesday, Leta Hong Fincher, the wife of a former award-winning Bloomberg News reporter was busy reminding the public of how Bloomberg censors his reporters who cover China and threatens those that don’t submit.

“I am one of the many women Mike Bloomberg’s company tried to silence through nondisclosure agreements. The funny thing is, I never even worked for Bloomberg. But my story shows the lengths that the Bloomberg machine will go to in order to avoid offending Beijing,” she began her piece in The Intercept.

According to Hong Fincher, her husband, Michael Forsythe, published an article with Bloomberg News documenting the wealth Chinese dictator Xi Jinping’s family had amassed. Shortly thereafter, Hong Fincher’s family was threatened with death by a mysterious woman with ties to a Xi relative. While Bloomberg News was dragging their feet to get them out of the country, she broke her silence and tweeted about the death threats. The company fruitlessly pressured Forsythe to get her to delete them.

The Lib media tolerates censorship if it is Democrats who are doing the censoring.  Never heard any complaints from them when the Obama White House hacked into Sheryl Atkinson's computer or searched James Rosen's private home.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
