Mwa-ha-ha!

According to the Times, Jack Welch has talked to Herald Publisher Pat Purcell about joining in on that Globe bid, the one it turns out that, despite what the Globe reported yesterday, the Times didn't actually say definitively no to. The Times story also says Welch's wife Suzy is "enamored" of the idea of owning a newspaper (aw, wouldn't that be cute: A copy of the Globe wrapped in a red ribbon under the Christmas tree!) and further identified her as a "former editor of the Harvard Business Review" without explaining exactly how she became a former editor (Jack, you explain it).

Dan Kennedy considers just what sort of media boss Welch would be (again) - he's not liking what he sees in his record as chief potentate of NBC.
