A newcomer to the community of billionaire media moguls, Döpfner is given to bold pronouncements and visionary prescriptions. He's concerned that the American press has become too polarized - legacy brands like the New York Times and The Washington Post drifting to the left, in his view, while conservative media falls under the sway of Trumpian "alternative facts." So in Politico, the fast-growing Beltway political journal, he sees a grand opportunity.

"We want to prove that being nonpartisan is actually the more successful positioning," he said in an interview with The Washington Post. He called it his "biggest and most contrarian bet."

"Do we all want to get together for an hour in the morning on November 3 and pray that Donald Trump will again become President of the United States of America?"

"No American administration in the last 50 years has done more," Döpfner concluded.

Asked about the email, Döpfner initially responded with a forceful denial. "That's intrinsically false," he said. "That doesn't exist. It has never been sent and has never been even imagined."

When shown a printout of the text, Döpfner allowed a glimmer of recognition. It's possible, he said, that he may have sent the email "as an ironic, provocative statement in the circle of people that hate Donald Trump," because that's exactly the kind of ironic, provocative thing that Döpfner, a garrulous and enthusiastic texter, likes to do.

"That is me," he said. "That could be."

1. First CNN now Politico moving further right?

2. This is disgusting.

Especially since he first denied it, then may have sent, then admitted it. I've known for years that Political had a rightward tilt but this is proof they can't be trusted.

3. Using his newly acquired media empire to advance his messiah,...

.... Donald Jesus Christ trDUMP - the new Fuhrer of the Christo-Fascist Church of the United States of AmeriKKKa Federalist's Government.

The new military and militia junta for Jeebuzz.

May we pray.

Amen.
