NEW YORK, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been quietly sounding out media executives on the idea of seeking a third term, The New York Times said Friday.
Bloomberg has spoken in private with News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman and New York Times Co. Chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. to get their take on whether their media companies would support overturning term limit laws that would prevent Bloomberg from seeking a third term, the newspaper said.
