GANNETT GOES FOR TRIB, COULD AFFECT SUN-TIMES, TOO – "Gannett deal for Tribune could affect USA Today ties with Sun-Times," by Robert Feder: "Monday's stop-the-presses news that Gannett Co. wants to buy Tribune Publishing isn't the first foray of the Virginia-based media giant into the Chicago newspaper market. In addition to distributing its flagship USA Today on newsstands here, Gannett has a comprehensive editorial partnership agreement with the Sun-Times. Since March 2015 Gannett has provided at least 10 pages of USA Today-branded editorial content each day in the Sun-Times. The arrangement substantially increased the paper's coverage of national and international news, business and
sports. The Gannett deal with Sun-Times parent company Wrapports LLC was negotiated under Michael Ferro, then chairman of Wrapports, and Timothy Knight, former CEO of Wrapports. Since last February, Ferro has been chairman of Tribune Publishing."
AN OFFER THEY CAN'T REFUSE? – "Gannett's $815 million offer: 'Tribune should take it,'" by Crain's Lynne Marek: "A quick sale of Tribune Publishing doesn't seem what Chairman Michael Ferro had in mind, but Gannett's $815 million offer may be tough to refuse. With just 16 percent of the company's outstanding shares, Ferro and the other Chicago investors behind his Merrick Media must give serious consideration to a bid that puts a 63 percent premium on the company's closing stock price at the end of last week. Gannett's offer, first made April 12, would pay $12.25 cash per share and absorb Tribune Publishing's $390 million in debt. Gannett, anchored by USA Today, is the biggest newspaper
company in the country, both by circulation and revenue, in an industry that is increasingly dominated by fewer, large players."

I find it funny how they confirm each big lead with their paid shill attacks… they really are THAT stupid because they didn't figure this out for over a month.
