All I can say, as I have said on the other thread, is that I hope Jpost continues to be published.

Selling off the Chicago Sun Times would'nt be a bad idea. We need a hard hitting conservative journal in Chicago but the odds are slim. Save the sports page. The only thing good about the paper.

Isn't Richard Perle a director of The Jerusalem Post?

The Jerusalem Post is an excellent brand - it will keep publishing - but without Tom Rose. Rose is said to be really "off balance" - perhaps the only reason why he has remained for so long was due to his knowledge of corporate wrongdoings.

As for Bret Stephens, he is also under direct contract with Hollinger - not Rose, which means he is a gonner as well. Stephens did give free PR to the ISM - until the Prime Minister's Office declared the ISM a terrorist organization and one of the brave editor's that Stephen's recently fired reported this fact!

Stephens was effective in alienating the entire editorial staff, proudly calling himself a "dictator." Only one staff member, who licked Stephen's axx daily - a guy named Calev, remained Stephen's patsy. Hopefully Ben-David will be gone as well. Stephens is an arrogant SOB - he knows how to write but lacks total experience in managing people. The paper does have some professional editorial stars who beyond their writing skills are warm, sincere, dedicated and caring people - i.e. - Saul Singer, Allan Abbey, Ruthie Blum and Steve Linde.

With Rose and Stephens removed from the Jerusalem Post - the paper will once again shine as it will be rid of their personal infighting and lack of professionalism.

Thanks. I wish I knew more about the newspaper business. Never have understood the roles of publisher, editor, BOD, etc. That said, maybe the "I" man will have something to say about it this a.m. I don't think he has had Rose on the show/phone for a few months. Could be something to that.

Conrad Black had a letter to the editor in the WSJ a day ago. He praised the misunderstood FDR.
