#1 Paraphrasing something Pappy once said about the merger:

They found a way to lash the lifeboats together.

#3 This is like putting the plague victims in the same room and saying they will get better because they are all together.

#7 They lashed the sinking ships.

The ships have already sunk, imnsho. Nearly every 'name' that's on the Daily Beast masthead is a refugee from a failed or failing magazine or newspaper. We already know what the former Post-owned Newsweek is.

The question is when the survivors will start drawing lots to see who gets eaten first.
