That ship is sinking and fast. I would not be surprised to see Rupert Murdoch buy it.

There is a fund after the NYT, but it ain’t Rupert:

This is oh-so-much more delicious irony. A southern family, with money from construction and coal? How declasse’.

Murdoch might make a run at the NYT, but I think he would run afoul of anti-trust laws. Remember, he already owns the NY Post, and now the WSJ/Dow Jones.
