It just came accross Bloomberg, that implies that the Bancrofts had enough votes to stop it

1. We can only hope
The WSJ editorial page may be batshit insane, but their news reporting is very good. I've met John Harwood before, and found him to be a very fair-minded reporter.

3. As far as there news reporting is concerned you are right on
I hope the Bloomberg report is correct, because I have no doubt if murdock took control, a new agenda would be set

5. Someone posted a story link last week that said it wasn't likely
From what I remember, it's about 56-59% that are against the sell-out. Most of that is Bancroft owned and easy to verify. The small independent investors are the unknown aspect, but that's a small percentage and likely won't have much influence.
