The NYT in all probability will have a fire sale of the Globe's assets after closing the doors and substituting the NYT paper to deliver at the doorstep in it's place. The property owned by the Globe is probably worth more than the business itself. It wouldn't surprise me if the Globe becomes nothing more than the local edition of the NYT in Boston by changing the masthead and substituting the ads and classifieds.

The Minneapolis Star Trib is apparently in very deep soup right now. The worst case scenario is that they go running to an Obama Admin for a permanent bailout as a kind of "public utility." Unfortunately, I don't think that's inconceivable, along with imposition of Fairness Doctrine on talk radio and AP-like regulations of what blogs can excerpt and link to if the Supreme Court is radicalized. #3, the Times owns the Globe, so they go at the same time, I would think.

I wonder of this Goldman Sachs idiot is still recommending these great buys of Moron Media stock...ignoring the elephants in the room is par for the 'analyst'.
