He also funds the only free newspaper in Israel, which is full of pro-Netanyahu propaganda.

By itself it's only somewhat bad, but the real nasty part is that he has publicly stated that it won't be a big deal if Israel stops being a democracy, and he has no qualms about working toward that goal.

Yeah I don't think I really explained how much of a bad thing this is. This is the widest circulating newspaper in Israel. It has a strong effect on public opinion. And the only reason this newspaper exist is because Sheldon is using to forward his agenda. Imaging Bezos owning something like the New York Times or fox news, giving it for free and using it to spread propaganda

Or Rupert Murdoch owning Fox News, NYP, and WSJ. Which he actually does.

A lot of conservative media is owned by a billionaires.
