Daily News Owner Big Hillary Supporter--Donates $$$$ to Clinton Foundation, Bashes Pres Obama:


Liberal Media: Only the “Brain Dead” Support Trump

February 10, 2016

Mortimer Zuckerman is an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter.

Democrat billionaire Mortimer Zuckerman’s Daily News headlines today with “Dawn of the Brain Dead: Clown comes back to life with N.H. Win as mindless zombies turn out in droves.”

The “news” tabloid, replete with photos of scantily clad women, porn stars and celebrity gossip, features a number of past covers—self described as “hard-hitting, thought-provoking”— lambasting Trump as an insane clown.

In other words, according to Zuckerman and crew, Americans fed up with an entrenched establishment that services multinational corporations and banking interests at their expense are akin to walking dead zombies enthralled by a clown.

The publisher is an ardent supporter of establishment insider and Goldman Sachs favorite Hillary Clinton. Zukerman has donated handsomely to the Clinton Foundation political machine along with fellow media magnates Bloomberg, James Murdoch, Carlos Slim, HBO, Time Warner, The Washington Post and others.

Mort Zuckerman: Obama 'Chasing Rainbows' With Iran Talks

President Barack Obama is “chasing rainbows” in his negotiations with Iran over is nuclear capabilities, billionaire real estate investor Mort Zuckerman, who owns the New York Daily News and U.S. News and World Report, writes in an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal on Saturday.

“He has forsaken decades of pledges to the civilized world from presidents of both parties,” said Zuckerman. “He has misled the American people in repeatedly affirming that the U.S. would never allow revolutionary Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, which would guarantee a new arms race.”

Zuckerman also called for questions on Obama's willingness to “test” Iranian President Hasan Rouhani on keeping his promise on nuclear weapons.

Before the talks started, both the Obama Administration and the U.N. Security Council, along with a 2013 framework agreement demanded uranium enhancement be stopped, but the new deal “enshrines Iran’s right to enrich,” insists Zuckerman. And further, in March, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told state media that there would be “no question” of sending enriched uranium away to be returned as power plant fuel rods, despite the deal saying it would.

In addition, initial talks had called for cutbacks to Iran's centrifuges from 19,000 dow to between 500 and 1,500, but the new agreement allows for 6,104, said Zuckerman. Also, Iran's foreign minister says advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium even faster, will go into place when the deal takes effect, Zuckerman writes.

And under the deal, the closure of nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Arak, which the United States has sought for years, won't happen, said Zuckerman, and U.S. negotiators have dropped demands that development of intercontinental ballistic missiles be stopped.

The duration and enforcement of the deal is also in question. Initially it was to last 20 years, but now it would last 10-15, said Zuckerman. Also, he points out that Iran has already been violating international agreements, and Iranian leaders are insisting that on-demand inspections won't be allowed.

The deal also gives Iran relief from sanctions, with Obama saying they could be snapped back if violations occur. But with Iran's allies being countries such as China and Russia, Zuckerman said, “it will be nearly impossible to reimpose today's sanctions” if a violation is discovered.

“So here we are at the end of the rainbow, seemingly willing to concede nuclear capacity to Iran, a country we consider a principal threat,” said Zuckerman. “No wonder Saudi Arabia and Egypt are insisting on developing equivalent nuclear capabilities. America’s traditional allies have concluded that the U.S. has traded temporary cooperation from Iran for acquiescence to its ultimate hegemony.”

She had the nerve to call him on his homework. I guess the Iraq war vote was just a red marker "mistake". Even had a husband to consult, and they still did their homework WRONG!

Truth is they were his friends. But the one issue NYDN cares more than Bernie is guns. They've been consistent on this one for years, with very powerful covers. Especially since Sandy Hook.
