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.”
Hearst isn’t going to shut down the Chronicle. They’re going to sell it (or give it) to Singleton.
