Talk of Huge sell-off of NWS stock on Tuesday

Ron Paul returns good numbers in Iowa.......how can Fox stick by their decision if Ron pulls a 2nd or 3rd? Do they know something we don't? If I were Ron Paul's campaign, and had official notice that he's not to be included, then Fine! No reconsideration will be given, and we'll proceed to have our "Debate Watch Party", and I mean a BIG gathering.......and line up speaker after speaker to speak on the biases of Fox and other corporate owned medias, while there can be no denying it.........and use it as a plea for new Paulites and their checkbooks! Invite the international press! Roll out the Red Carpet! This could be the shot in the arm we've been looking for. Don't give in now, even if they smuggly invite you, because they'll just ignore you and trivialize you .

Check out the talk on the Yahoo Finance message board for NWS (the Yahoo finance message board is the most read financial message board in the world).

year. In 02 they were 12.50 a share. Their ROE is about 5%. And are pretty solid financially. It seems they are weak on Cash Flow so one way to hurt them is to get advertisers to stop advertising and to boycott their publications. But, the VERY BEST WAY IS TO SIMPLY GET THE INFORMATION OUT THAT THEY ARE BIASED AND HAVE NO INTEGRITY. ONCE ENOUGH PEOPLE REALIZE THIS THEY WILL GO DOWN ON THEIR OWN. Shorting the stock is a very bad idea, even though they underperform the S&P and the market should be weak next year.

They own myspace, WSJ, New York Post, Harper Collins publishing, FOX Broadcasting Company , FOX Sports Australia ,FOX Television Stations ,FOXTEL, MyNetworkTV, STAR.

Much of their business is overseas and they are not really an American Company per se. So a foreing company (even if owned by an American) is trying to influence American politics.

and his companies are an Enemy of the State. Our military should be brought home and these stations should be taken over by the citizens. They are destroying democracy.

News Corp. selling eight Fox O&Os
Tribune sets up joint venture with buyer
By CYNTHIA LITTLETON
The TV station biz saw an end-of-year flurry of dealmaking late last week. News Corp. confirmed it will shed some of its stations in medium- and small-sized markets, while Tribune Co. has set up a joint station management venture with the company that is buying those eight outlets from News Corp. for $1.1 billion.

News Corp. announced Saturday that it plans to sell eight Fox O&Os to private equity concern Oak Hill Capital Partners for $1.1 billion in cash -- a move widely viewed as an effort to raise some coin to offset some of the $5.2 billion that News Corp. has committed to buy Wall Street Journal parent Dow Jones & Co. The stations to be acquired by Oak Hill include WJW Cleveland, KDVR Denver, KTVI St. Louis and WDAF Kansas City, Mo.

The day before the News Corp.-Oak Hill pact was unveiled, Tribune confirmed that it has cut a deal with Oak Hill Capital-owned Local TV to create a joint station management venture that will now include the eight stations Oak Hill is acquiring from News Corp. Covington, Ohio-based Local TV was formed in January after Oak Hill bought nine small-market TV stations from the New York Times Co. for $575 million.

Last January, Oak Hill tapped industry vets Randy Michaels and Bobby Lawrence to run Local TV. Michaels last week was named topper of Tribune's interactive and broadcasting unit, following the completion of Tribune's $8.2 billion takeover by real estate mogul Sam Zell and its transition from a public to private company. Lawrence, who's now CEO of Local TV, previously worked with Michaels at the Zell-owned radio station owner Jacor Communications in the 1990s.

Michaels will serve as head of the station management venture, dubbed the Other Co., which will focus on providing administrative, research, technology support and other back-office functions to the 23 stations owned by Tribune and Local TV's nine outlets, which will soon swell to 17. Oak Hill's purchase of the News Corp. stations is expected to close in the third quarter of next year.

Tribune said the Other Co. would provide shared services to all the stations but function as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tribune. "We are going to find new ways to operate smarter, cheaper and more efficiently," Michaels said.

Lawrence said the venture would eventually expand to address "market-specific challenges and opportunities with special SWAT teams, developing vertical and homegrown content, and finding new ways to deploy capital."

Tribune and Local will continue to maintain separate boards and senior management teams at the stations, while those functions that are "common across corporate headquarters will be combined in a transparent manner to both companies," Tribune said in announcing the partnership with Local TV.

The management partnership deal with Local TV spurred speculation of staff cutbacks at the Tribune-owned stations. A Tribune spokeswoman said the partnership's focus was not downsizing but "expanding our national footprint" to increase the stations' ability to compete for talent and programming.

The market is closed on NYD....and if we Paul supporters don't like Fox news what makes you think we hold their stock or that of their parent companies to any size-able extent ?

shorting shares. I'd highly recommend NOT shorting - and I made money shorting homebuilders this year. You're playing with the big boys and they can hurt your pocketbook. If you believe that these corporations and banks are in bed together, you better believe that they can move this stock price against you very easily.

Sell shares that you own. Petition money managers of funds you own to sell their shares.

If you believe that NWS is going to go down, consider buying some CHEAP put options as an alternative.

I'm highly suspect of anyone recommending shorting shares as having an alternate agenda or being extremely naive.

on short position stock threads,this could be huge.
make the establishment PAY!

If we get as many as 50000 shorts the pressure will drive the stock price down. This will make them hurt and get the financial markets talking about us again. Let's do it!

Tuesday is Jan. 1 Market's closed.

your brokers,sell your NWS stock this tuesday OR take a short position in it.Money can be made when a short position is taken and the price of a stock drops.
