Despite rumors to the contrary, John Henry and his Boston Red Sox are not interested in acquiring The Boston Globe, the #1 newspaper in the Boston market. The New York Times currently owns The Boston Globe and is threatening to shut it down if the Globe unions don’t make $20 million in concessions, and we all know how much unions like to give in concessions. What’s the point of a newspaper in 2009? It seems like such a waste of paper. Especially when you can read my ramblings for free and save a tree!
