#1 .com,
IIRC Mr. Greenberg has been a consistent (if not overly open) supporter of President Bush, he's donated well over six figures to his Presidential campaigns.
I have gotta believe that if enough money gets put on the table, the Family will blink - they have lost way too much money and prestige under Sulzberger, they want it back, and screw the principle. The funny part will be watching the reaction of the MSM when the Times becomes a borderline conservative paper.

#2 Here's a prediction: were the NYT to go "conservative", you'll no longer see CBS, ABC, and NBC drawing their daily top stories from the frontpage headlines of the NYT.

#3 When the NY Times goes conservative you'll see the reporters ignoring orders or leaving in droves and the papers remaining subscribers cancelling fast.

It might be possible to return them to neutrality (with a liberal bent editorial page) and profitability (which would be good for all) but to go conservative is unlikely.

#4 Greenberg is denying this report that he's buying big into NYT. Stock went up on the initial report. Most likely somebody's playing the usual games to make a few bucks.
