I agree – it _is_ very good news!! 🙂 I could hardly believe it when I saw the headline.

Especially when I saw a story last night (can’t find it now) about the record profits Fox Media posted for the most recent quarter. Disheartening. This news makes up for it a little.

Agreed again! Not only is the deal off, but Tribune is suing for a billion dollars.
