He could donate one of the empty palaces (built for decorative purposes and to someday serve as corporate headquarters when companies move into the city) to serve as the base for ZNN Luna ("take that, Port Luna and Kandor! No, of course it is for purely altruistic motives, honest"...)

Sometimes during the war ZNN got an anonymous donation that allowed Cronkite to get an android body and prepared the station for the future.
Now than I think on it, the "donor" may be one, or several, AI/androids who want to help oe of the most visible members of their kind. The war should be also the time when Bernie gets his own android body, and he owns half the company; for that matter, Noah's girls aren't poor, either. The donor does not need to be a corporate mogul, other people, wich have no interest in earning press bias, can donate too. Or even create a fund to collect donatives.
