There is a rumor around Baltimore that the Abell Foundation - A S Abell Company were the local founders and owners for 150 years - is considering buying back the Baltimore Sun from the Chicago Tribune, because the paper has gone so far downhill that it really cannot be considered a local paper any longer.
It was a lefty rag when it was locally owned. Now it is a lefty rag with hardly any local writers.

I'll say this though: the Tribune Company is bleeding ink probably fast enough that the offer by Mark Cuban to buy the Chicago Cubs from the Tribune Company may not be as far-fetched as everyone thinks. Don't be surprised that the Tribune Company sells the Los Angeles Times, Baltimore Sun and the Chicago Cubs all at the same time by the end of 2006 so it can concentrate to reviving the Chicago Tribune.

Local seems like MSM's newest mantra to supposedly save fishwrap. IMHO TRB, along with the rest of the big 6 media companies, remain stubbornly addicted to notions of monopolistic production infrastructure in an era when content is king on commodity infrastructure.
