Have you seen this ?
"MediaNews Group Inc. has offered to buy three Knight Ridder Inc. newspapers in California and one in Minnesota..."
McClatchy currently owns 12 daily papers. The purchase of San Jose-based Knight Ridder, which is expected to close this summer, would increase McClatchy's holdings to 32 papers after it sells the 12 papers in markets that don't fit McClatchy's growth strategy.

Yes, I have. Media News is a non profit outfit, which buys newspapers and comes in and fires most of the worthless liberals working for the fishwrap.
The liberals in San Jose at the Mercury are in full panic re this possible transaction. They know that they are not qualified to flip burgers or take orders at their local fast foods.
