Flying Pigs: A Special 'WSJ' Section
 |
No, Tierney is also hoping to turn Philadelphia Media Holdings into a powerhouse by purchasing the freaking Wall Street Journal. The WSJ would come if Tierney could find backers to buy Dow Jones, the subject of a recent takeover attempt by Rupert Murdoch.
News Corp.'s bid for Dow Jones was $5 billion, which Tierney said wasn't excessive. Well, you get the freaking Wall Street Journal, so I suppose it's not so much. Of course, the bid for the Philly papers was just over $500 million, so, ah, if Tierney manages to buy Dow Jones it'd be a real reason to do a special section about pigs flying.

Why is this site always so negative about anything involved with the Inquirer or Tierney? Could be because you guys are jealous because your paper sucks? Maybe you flunked journalism class or something and that is why you have to write for Philadelphia Weekly. See you later haters!
