His circumcision status has never been revealed, but having been born into wealth at the height of the American circumcision craze, it is nearly 100 percent certain that he was circumcised as an infant. This is further confirmed by his adult behavior later in life.
Media funding & objectivity

Not just MSNBC, but also ABC, PBS, and Public Radio, as well as others. Many worry that its growing support of media organizations blur the line between journalism and advocacy. [7]
