MediaBuyerPlanner: The meeting between Dow Jones’s Bancroft family and Rupert Murdoch – during which they will discuss Murdoch’s $5 billion offer for the company – occurs today.
Murdoch, with his easy and substantial personal charm, will pass the horns-and-tail test with ease, writes David Carr of The New York Times. Carr believes that the result of the meeting is rather a foregone conclusion. At the family’s next holiday party, it will be all nice-to-see-you’s and, “Hey, isn’t that a gorgeous new diamond necklace?”
