MIchael Barbaro for the New York Times:
The mayor, a keen student of power, is privately conceding to friends that he will not be a candidate for president, a position he covets, and he is coming to grips with the reality that philanthropy, even on the sky-is-the-limit scale that he is planning, will not be enough to make him a potent force in national and international affairs.
And:
Those involved said the editorials would mirror the kind of data-driven, nonpartisan, centrist thinking that has defined Mr. Bloomberg’s career, even as it has become rare in public discourse.
It seems bizarre to me that Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire undefeatable mayor of New York needs to create a whole publication just to build some public opinion cred. And that Bloomberg has to offer editors $500k to lure them away to publish data-driven, nonpartisan opinion is an incredible statement about the state of today’s media.
