Related: About this forumThe Hill is owned by a pro-Trump billionaire
Jimmy Finkelstein, the owner of The Hill, is a Trumper.
He uses the Hill to amplify Trump's words in headlines.
Unless you're a right winger, don't read the Hill, and don't quote it. ESPECIALLY don't quote its headlines or op-ed pages.

I see a lot people posting The Hill here and they need to know that it is a right-wing propaganda mainstreaming operation owned by a Trumper.

(36,911 posts)4. Jimmy Finkelstein, the owner of The Hill, has flown under the radar.
But he's played a key role in the Ukraine scandal.
New York (CNN Business)James "Jimmy" Finkelstein, the owner of The Hill newspaper, is not a widely known media executive, but he is one of the era's most consequential.
Finkelstein resides at the nexus of President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and John Solomon, the now-former executive at The Hill and current Fox News contributor who pushed conspiracy theories about Ukraine into the public conversation.
While Solomon has received significant media attention for his work at The Hill, Finkelstein has stayed out of the headlines, despite having himself played a crucial role in the saga.
