NYT editorial urges Bancrofts to shun Murdoch

Cory Bergman June 10th, 2007

The NYT admits it’s an unusual opinion piece. “Editorial pages generally do not compliment the competition,” the editorial in Sunday’s paper begins. “Mr. Murdoch has promised not to diminish The Journal. At the same time he acknowledges that as a veteran newsman, he likes to meddle in his news properties, which include The New York Post and Fox News. We hope he remembers that The Journal’s respect for its readers and the readers’ trust in The Journal are entwined. Lose one and you lose the other.”
