************************************EXCERPT*************************************

There has been widespread speculation that Tribune would attempt to unload the newspaper business to focus on its more promising television operations. Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. is among the possible bidders for the newspaper assets.

$100.00 is my offer for the whole operation.

Nice building.

Now here’s an opportunity for some intelligent investor(s) to secure a couple of significant media outlets and publish some real news instead of all the BS, lies, and propaganda...

so little competition... how could it do anything but succeed!?

[DManA]

$105 but they have to fire that idiot Lou Grant.

[GeronL]

lol.

Overpaying.

[Conspiracy Guy]

$110.00 and they are all fired.

[GeronL]

I wouldn’t mind having a small press, just for hobby stuff... deliver my own little FReeps to the hometown.

lol

[Conspiracy Guy]

$12.50 that’s my final offer
