@DavidMDrucker@mateagold But Super PAC billionaires have terrible time fighting political tides: Koch Brothers 2012, Tom Steyer 2014. -
@MrWalterShapiro@mateagold True. But always going to play. Will always give to parties but s'PACS offer allure of 'control/influence' -

@DavidMDrucker@mateagold Seriously, is ego payoff in giving lushly to politicians that much greater than being 21st century Marty Peretz? -
@MrWalterShapiro@mateagold Yes. View this way: They're already involved in politics. This just changes HOW. For journalism - need desire.
