WILL BEZOS SWOOP ON CNN?

AMAZON founder Jeff Bezos has been touted as a potential buyer of American television network CNN.

The 56-year-old, who is the world’s richest man, already owns the Washington Post newspaper. But there are rumours among investment bankers that he is now ‘sniffing around on a potential purchase’ of CNN from owner AT&T, Fox News reported.

A move to buy CNN would put Bezos in control of two media outlets that are reviled by Donald Trump, who has repeatedly accused Bezos and the Post of being biased against him.
