One of the quickest ways to go broke is to go into the publishing business, particularly a daily newspaper. Geffen wants to put out the type of product that he would like to read: something even more arcane and elitist than the paper Los Angeles readers are increasingly rejecting. If the LA Times had a future, serious people like Rupert Murdoch, who has forgotten more than Geffen will ever know about that business, would be biding for it.

thought i read that none of the offers for the Times including Geffen's wasn't high enough.

I saw a quote from him the other day saying the LA Times was not liberal enough. Enough said.
