Why do you think the NYTs has to eat such a massive loss? The Boston Globe newspaper has been sold by its owner, the New York Times Company, for $70 million in cash to investor John W. Henry. Included in the deal were the Times’s stakes in two other smaller papers, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette and Metro Boston, a free tabloid. The Times had purchased the Globe company in 1993 for $1.1 billion. Adjusted for inflation, the New England Media Group operation sold for just under 4 percent of the original sale price. The all-cash deal did not include an assumption of the company’s pension debts of about $110 million which will remain with the Times Company.

U.S. directs [DEA] agents to cover up program used to investigate Americans John Shiffman and Kristina Cooke 8/5/13 news.yahoo.com <More Here> A secretive U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration unit is funneling information from intelligence intercepts, wiretaps, informants and a massive database of telephone records to authorities across the nation to help them launch criminal investigations of Americans. Although these cases rarely involve national security issues, documents reviewed by Reuters show that law enforcement agents have been directed to conceal how such investigations truly begin - not only from defense lawyers but also sometimes from prosecutors and judges. The undated documents show that federal agents are trained to "recreate" the investigative trail to effectively cover up where the information originated, a practice that some experts say violates a defendant's Constitutional right to a fair trial. If defendants don't know how an investigation began, they cannot know to ask to review potential sources of exculpatory evidence - information that could reveal entrapment, mistakes or biased witnesses. "I have never heard of anything like this at all," said Nancy Gertner, a Harvard Law School professor who served as a federal judge from 1994 to 2011. Gertner and other legal experts said the program sounds more troubling than recent disclosures that the National Security Agency has been collecting domestic phone records. The NSA effort is geared toward stopping terrorists; the DEA program targets common criminals, primarily drug dealers. "It is one thing to create special rules for national security," Gertner said. "Ordinary crime is entirely different. It sounds like they are phonying up investigations." (snip) <More Here>

Guillory: ‘Liberalism has nearly destroyed black America…time for black America to return the favor’ Elbert Guillory, Elbert Guillory, the African American state senator from Louisiana who switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party earlier this year, has agreed to serve as honorary chairman of the Free at Last PAC, whose stated mission is “to support Black Republicans who run for federal office and also to educate Blacks about the values of the Republican Party.” Guillory who is reportedly eyeing a statewide run for office in 2015, recorded this impassioned defense of economic freedom and capitalism to help raise money for the PAC, with the best stuff coming at the end: “Liberalism has nearly destroyed black America, and now it’s time for black America to return the favor.” - See more at: conservativeintel.com
