baron

Combine “There Will Be Blood’s” voracious oil baron and “The Master’s” manipulative spiritual guru with this movie’s America-first nativists and you have Anderson’s unholy trinity of characters who have corrupted our founders’ ideals.

Many of these press barons were no mere “conservatives”; they took a friendly line towards Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

As the richest people in the world have gone from being oil barons and communications scions to app makers and data center owners, the trappings of wealth have shifted.

Props to the robber barons of yesteryear — at least they had style.

The media baron has long relished his proximity to power.
