NYT Hired Goldman To Sell Red Sox Stake, Posts Horrendous Revenues

The distressed semi-Mexican company announced today it has hired Goldman Sachs to sell its 17.75% stake in New England Sports Ventures, which owns the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park, 80% of New England Sports Network, and 50% of a Nascar Team. Guess that sale leaseback must not be going all that well.

NYT at zero... would be utopia... we just don't need that type of one-sided divisive reporting anymore.
