The revelation that Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel helped fund Hulk Hogan’s defamation lawsuit against the Cayman Islands-based media firm Gawker has elicited howls of condemnation from the serious media.

The New York Times, for example, published a piece decrying the “aggressive bid by the very wealthy to control the American news media,” which includes references to billionaire media investors such as Sheldon Adelson (Las Vegas Review-Journal), Paul Huntsman (Salt Lake Tribune), Michael Bloomberg (Bloomberg) and Jeff Bezos (Washington Post).

Curiously unmentioned in the piece is Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim, one of the richest men on earth, with a net worth of more than $51 billion. That’s odd, considering that Slim is the largest shareholder of one of the most prominent media firms in the world: The New York Times Company.
