There is a very long history of projects of trying to build monopolies over declining industries that in the end just accelerate the decline of said industry(Clearchannel, Knight Ridder+McClatchy). All of this will only accelerate the decline of cable as an industry.

I think Ron is referring to Knight Ridder (later McClatchy), who had a 49.5% ownership stake in the Seattle Times for nearly 100 years. Regardless, the Blethen family bought those shares back in 2024. Not that The Seattle Times needs much defense, but they deserve credit where credit is due.

I think I knew that. Shows you how much I’ve avoided straight news recently! It’s all very unfortunate.

Thanks for the info I’m so sorry Leading up to Iraq, and explaining the 2008 housing meltdown, McClatchy did some great reporting
