New York Times: Poised for Gain

Agree that The Times is an unparalleled media brand. But Dorfman's whole case rests on the presumed willingness of the Sulzberger/Ochs family to eventually pack it in and yield the great institution that is The New York Times to someone with a very big wallet. It ain't gonna happen. This is a family whose name is synonymous with its newspaper (not the case with the Bancrofts). This is a family with members actually working at the newspaper (not the case with the Bancrofts).

And finally, why do people who buy shares in companies with two classes of stock later complain about the unfairness of it all? I recently bought a Subaru and am bummed that it doesn't have the pickup of a Porsche Boxster. Should I go back to the dealer and complain?
