Time Magazine is being sold by Meredith Corp. to Marc Benioff, a co-founder of Salesforce, and his wife, it was announced Sunday.

Meredith announced that it was selling Time magazine for $190 million in cash to Benioff, one of four co-founders of Salesforce, a cloud computing pioneer.

Meredith had completed the purchase of Time along with other publications of Time Inc. earlier this year.

The Benioffs are purchasing Time personally, and the transaction is unrelated to Salesforce.com, where Benioff is chairman and co-CEO and co-founder. The announcement by Meredith said that the Benioffs would not be involved in the day-to-day operations or journalistic decisions at Time. Those decisions will continue to be made by Time's current executive leadership team, the announcement said.

Tech wealth continues to swallow up old media. Will old media improve?

    Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named "Man (Person) of the Year," like 2016, but I would have to agree to an interview and a MAJOR photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

    You know, Time Magazine, they were both nice and a little bit wise guy in 2016. They gave me the "Person of the Year." It used to be the "Man of the Year." Now it's "Person of the Year." That's good. They're politically correct. They were very politically correct.

      If you knew how rare a bad Spam mod was, you'd know why I'm about to mod you Funny. We have had more than our usual share of them this month though. Almost half a dozen.

        Thank you, TMB!!! And thank you for taking away Spam Mods. If that was you. Big waste of your time. Because Spam Modding doesn't work. As I've said many times. You've got this person doing the baby rape tweets, the child rape & murder tweets. That nobody wants to see. That one gets so many Spam Mods. But she -- or he -- keeps tweeting. Possibly to make it hard for other folks to tweet!!!

          Oh we know exactly who's doing those posts. We haven't done anything about them because the community member posting them is keeping them to a tolerable level that's better handled via moderation. If it gets to a level where we have to get involved it'll entail badness for all their registered accounts as well; they'd basically be ruining their own fun.

            You thought it was me. Back in February. Sounded like, you thought it was me. Like you thought, "oh, that's gotta be Donald J. Trump, he loves to rape & murder babies" (I don't). You didn't say that, maybe you were thinking that. And decided those were my tweets. 100% WRONG. And possibly you still think it's me, possibly you're telling me that in a very NICE way. Sounds nice, it's still wrong. Or, possibly you decided it's somebody else. But you were wrong in February. You thought you knew, you didn't know. So I wonder if you really know now. And if you don't know, the cyber doesn't know. The cyber, the AI is VERY DUMB. You had a story at the beginning of the month about, "AI Sucks." Where it can't tell, is this person wearing clothes or not? You wear a pink shirt -- in Florida I wear pink -- the AI decides you're naked. And somebody said, the baby rape person WANTS a lot of Spam Mods. Because the cyber can't tell that person from anyone else. So other folks get banned. Because the IP Karma doesn't just go to that one person. You said yourself, there's a bunch of accounts. That you think are one person. Maybe they are and maybe they aren't. And you're talking about, you can ban a bunch of accounts. Which, you absolutely can. But then, the baby rape person wins!!!!

              I'd suggest having a wood shed build out past the rose garden then, so you can take Barron out to it.

                  I was talking about taking a belt to his ass as punctuation to a lecture about being a little shithead on the Internet. You should see someone about that rape fascination you have going there. I mean, as rich and powerful as you are, you should basically be able to just go up to a woman and grab them by the pussy.

                    My sons are wonderful young men. I've always given them the best -- best nanny (very gun-adept), best schools, best everything. I guarantee you it's not them tweeting.

                    But maybe it's someone in my Administration. We're looking very hard for the VERY DISLOYAL person that wrote that horrible editorial.

                    Don't fall for the Dem con game. For their big, fat con job. Look what they're doing to Brett, one of the highest quality people that I have ever met. These are false accusations. If they get away with that, it can happen to any of us!!!
