LOL I was going to comment similarly. Just sending out a rumor of this would eliminate a good chunk of the far left by them having heart attacks.

Link works for me, must be a cookie buried in there.

Here's the whole announcement (still there, btw):

LONDON -- Rupert Murdoch is considering an acquisition of The New York Times , according to a report by Vanity Fair's Michael Wolff, who wrote a profile and interviewed the News Corp. chairman and chief executive. Wolff speaks of watching Murdoch "go through the numbers, plot out a merger with the Journal's backroom operations, and fantasize about the staff's quitting en masse as soon as he entered the sacred temple." The article doesn't directly quote Murdoch on his reported interest. There would be clear regulatory obstacles to a New York Times acquisition in addition to a likely reticence on the Sulzberger family to sell to him. News Corp. also owns MarketWatch, the publisher of this report.

Sounds like a lefty trying to make something out of nothing... A businessman worthy of his own salt would not 'fantasize about staff quitting en masse"... While I wouldn't doubt Murdoch would be interested in the idea of taking over the NYT, he'd be out of his mind to use that sort of language in anything but a private discussion. "Private" meaning not be be discussed outside the office.

We'll see.
