Short it or buy Puts.
I don't if the stock can be borrowed, though.

"As things stand, no amount of stock could give Greenberg control of the firm as a second class of stock concentrates voting power in the hands of the family, descendants of Adolph S Ochs, who purchased the paper in 1896. It is a change the Sulzbergers continue to rule out. "chief executive Janet Robinson ... was pleased the Times had a dual class structure 'designed to protect these institutions in times of stress'."
What arrogant princes and princesses they all are! What elitist, ossified dinosaurs they are!
With their "ruling families" and "dual class structure" and "concentrating power in family hands" and "protecting these institutions", these people sound like the French aristocracy just before you-know-what happened. These liberals sound positively backward--by their own definition of the term.
I hope the Shareholder Gangs of New York eat them.

It is my understanding that the Ochs/Sulzburger family interest control the voting shares as in class A, and the "buy in " class B shareholders are screwed.
I saw a statement in an investment letter from someone at the NYT, and they want to protect "journalism from outside interests" taking control of their effetist, leftist, cocktail party friends.
May God Bless America.
