Rendell said in a brief interview Tuesday that he called Kevin McClatchy, owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, about two weeks ago and asked him to pass on his support for Burkle's California-based Yucaipa Cos. L.L.C. to the McClatchy Co.
McClatchy Co. has agreed to buy Knight Ridder Inc., but plans to sell 12 of the 32 papers, including The Inquirer and Daily News. On Wednesday, it announced the sale of four papers to MediaNews Group Inc.
Why, oh why aren't some wealthy conservatives trying to buy some of these news companies? Must the left continue to have a strangle hold on our news outlets?
Hmm...Because buying dead tree news distribution at this date would be like buying livery cab companies in 1916. They are still around - but the writing is on the wall. Conservatives want a return on their investments.
May be late here but Bill Clinton and Rev. Jackson are or were on the Yucaipa board.
Updating my own post: William J. Clinton listed as Senior Advisor per Hoover's. No more mention of Rev. Jackson other than in the narrative 'as an Advisor.'
