Rumorville: WaPo to buy Wall Street Journal?
2005-08-16
Via a DC local radio/TV blog that I like a lot:
A new Goldman Sachs report says that the Wall Street Journal's parent, Dow Jones, might be pressured into a sale--and lists the Washington Post Company as a possible buyer. Obviously it's all speculation now, but wouldn't that make for an interesting partnership? After all, what's the Style section but a daily collection of A-heds? Of course with the WaPoCo's stock battered by recent earnings issues, it may not jump at the opportunity to take on another paper.
'Twould be interesting to see the clash of the opinion sections.

#4  Without the conservative slanted op-ed, they can cancel my subscription.

#3  There won't be much change in the (non-business) news section, though.

#2  Opinion Journal is conservative. I wonder what WaPo will do with the WSJ OPed?

#1  *shudder*

Do I trust WaPo not to screw this up, assuming it happens?

Duh.
