It's not exactly a secret that the Sulzbergers are the hereditary monarchs of NYT. The latest one is both publisher of NYT and chairman of the board of NYT Co.
After a quick search to figure out where you got this silly idea that Carlos Slim runs NYT, class A stocks are publicly traded and account for 85% of ownership but only 30% of votes. Slim owns enough class A to make him the largest shareholder with 17% of the company, which gives a whopping 6% voting control. The other 15% of shares is class B with 70% of the votes, which comprises the entirety of the Ochs-Sulzberger Family Trust's 13% shares giving them 60% of the vote.
Gee I wonder.
You know, for all my flaws, I don't say obvious lies that can be disproven easily.
He's talking about the Sulzbergers who have controlled the NYT since Aldolph Ochs bought it in 1896.
The CEO is a woman and the owner is a Christian. This is such a stretch.

I was going to come and btfo this absolute nonsense post, but u/TentElephant has already done it for me.
I'll go one step further and add that Slim sold half his stock in 2017, meaning he now only has 8% financial shares, and 3% of the votes.
The Sulzberger dynasty controls the New York Times.
No, instead you make things up out of whole cloth that are impossible to prove or disprove.
More likely they're trying to distract from how bad things are in the US under the regime they helped into power.
I don't think they did it for the money.
