I'm not sure which scenario is worse; 'Dame Edna' Murdoch's pwning The
Dow Jones, or Sweaty B.
If Murdoch gets it (very likely), the WSJ might suddenly develop a
decidedly anti-British stance (just look at Fox), and if Sweaty gets it
(very unlikely, since they pulled out of negotiations), you can wave bye
bye to all those glowing Apple reviews.
Oh well. Fortunately I don't have to read any Murdoch-influenced drivel.
For those rare occasions that I actually read about non-tech news, and
those even rarer occasions when I read that news off dead trees, I have
my local paper to serve those needs:

Researching their pedigree revealed a rather complex structure.
Apparently the P&J is owned by Northcliffe Media Limited:

In turn, Northcliffe is owned by Daily Mail and General Trust Plc.:

Which (thankfully) is not pwned by 'Dame Edna' Murdoch.
