Why, oh why can’t it be the Boston Globe, ransomed out of bankruptcy by Red Sox owner John Henry?
Henry purchased the Globe from the New York Times for about $30 million dollars, more than a billion less than they paid for it about ten years before. He agreed to keep the money loser alive, for the time being.
The first thing he did was sell the Globe building in downtown Boston for more than $30 million, and move all the editorial staff out to strip malls in suburbs. The wailing and the gnashing of teeth among the staff was shadenliscious.
The Hartford Courant had an equally hilarious story.
The oldest continuously published newspaper in the country which eventually morphed into a leftwing propaganda organ had to abandon the state of CT and the city of Hartford and move its operations to MA.
