Illegal? Bloomberg News market information terminals sent users to campaign website, company calls it ‘glitch’

Slimy Michael Bloomberg knows he has no chance at the Democrat nomination. Despite his fascination with fascism when he was Mayor of New York City, Nanny Bloomberg will be lucky if he even gets into one of the clown show debates. So what did Bloomberg did? People trying to access the Bloomberg news and financial site with market information terminals were getting redirected to Bloomberg’s campaign website. How convenient. After being called out, the issue was amazinging fixed and referred to Bloomberg as simply “a glitch” and an “oversight”. Yea, I’ll bet. Slimy, Democrat socialist, Bloomberg.

The finance and media group Bloomberg said Thursday it fixed what it termed a glitch in its market information terminals that directed users to presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg’s campaign website by typing in the letters “MIKE.”

The company, which operates a major network for financial market data as well as a news organization, said it took the action after an article in the Financial Times pointing out the link to the company owner.

“We’ve updated that function to go to (Michael Bloomberg’s) bio page just like anyone else,” said Bloomberg LP spokesman Ty Trippet in a tweet to an FT journalist.

“Thanks for pointing out what was clearly an oversight when the site became a campaign site.”

The FT article included screenshots of the terminals that had been directed to the campaign site.

Before he launched his presidential run, the feature was used to direct users to Michael Bloomberg’s philanthropy website, which was later repurposed as a campaign page, according to the company.
