It's all for a good cause. Honest. Just ask the Erikesque trolls:

What does it say about the dinosaur newspaper industry that the
world's richest man is investing in it? According to an Aug. 8 filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, MediaNews Group Inc. has a
$597.3 million line of credit from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
and other members of a lending consortium to finance its purchase of
several San Francisco Bay Area newspapers. The filing does not
specify exact amounts invested by the foundation or others
consortium members which include banks and insurance companies.
MediaNews, which publishes the Detroit News, Denver Post, and other
dailies, recently bought four papers from the McClatchy Co. for $1
billion. The deal was part of McClatchy's larger takeover of the
now-defunct Knight-Ridder chain, buying 32 papers and selling off 11
of them. (KR was the minority, 49.5 percent, owner of The Seattle
Times, a stake now held by McClatchy, which also owns the Tacoma
News Tribune, Bellingham Herald, Tri-City Herald and The Olympian).
The Gates/consortium financing enabled MediaNews to complete its
purchases of two of the largest Bay Area papers, the San Jose
Mercury News and Contra Costa Times....
I'm guessing this is not going to influence any of the press coverage,
by any of these fine media institutions, of their generous works around
the world where they invest more for monopoly advertising and slavery
building than goes toward fixing the causes they celebrate. They don't
_need_ to buy good coverage. Right?
