Fang sues to regain control of Examiner

Florence Fang and other members of her family are suing to regain control of the San Francisco Examiner and other publishing assets, alleging they were misled into a $20 million sale last year by the betrayal of a former executive, Scott McKibben. The Fang family, which owned the Examiner for three years, wants a San Mateo County Superior Court judge to nullify the paper’s sale to Denver billionaire Philip Anschutz as part of a lawsuit filed against Anschutz and the paper’s current publisher, McKibben. Before Anschutz bought the Examiner 11 months ago, McKibben oversaw the paper for the Fangs.
