Guardian asks politicians to pressure Hearst

Hearst shouldn’t be allowed to simply stop the presses and shut down the Chron, argues Bay Guardian editor Tim Redmond. “Mayor Newsom, Speaker Pelosi, Senators Feinstein and Boxer — all the political leaders in this town — should be demanding that Hearst make a reasonable effort to sell the Chronicle. And by ‘reasonable,’ I mean a deal no worse that what the Fangs got with the Ex.”
