Thats like buying an Enzo and not being able to drive it, or something like that

Published: Saturday, June 23, 2007

Only an idiot would think Rupert Murdoch doesn't have the Bancroft family by the balls with the $5 Billion he has dangling in front of their faces. And only an idiot would think old Rupe will do a deal and not have full control at the wheel. Then again sometimes one has to sacrifice when they really want something. It looks like the Bancrofts who turned over negotiations to the DowJones board will sell but under one condition.......The Wall Street Journal can't be touched. Will Rupe accept these terms and get the deal done, or will he send it back with a big "I Don't Think So" written across it?


The Bancroft's proposal calls for a Special Committee on Editorial and Journalistic Integrity and would limit News Corp.'s ability to control the Wall Street Journal brand.
