Jeff Bezos is reportedly eyeing CNBC after it parts ways with Comcast later this year, as he seeks to add a “neutral voice” to his already drama-filled media portfolio 🎭. Why? Well, his ownership of The Washington Post hasn't exactly been a smooth ride, with the newspaper hemorrhaging both cash 💸 and staff faster than Bezos can say “Alexa, cancel subscription” 📉.
The $241 billion man already shelled out $250 million for The Post 💰, and he's been steering it away from politics and towards the bright, shiny land of free markets 🏙️. Adding CNBC to his media empire would be like adding a fresh layer of frosting 🍰 to a very rich cake, but unfortunately, the tax rules are saying, "Not so fast, buddy!" ⏳ Looks like any deal might have to wait at least two years. Classic Bezos timing! ⏰
