He also reassured his hands-off principle, saying “ "I have some strong political views, but Berkshire owns the paper — I don't. And Berkshire will always be non-political."”
Berkshire announced that it would buy the majority of Media General Inc’s paper for $142 million on May 17. And it snapped up 63 daily and weekly newspapers of Media General Inc.
