Friends,
I just got off the phone with Mr. Jaunty and he wanted you to know that News Corp. has not made an offer for A Jaunty Little Blog. All of the rumors you’re heard about hostile takeovers, leveraged buyouts, or boardroom coups are not to be believed.
He wishes the rumors were true though, or at least that he was invited to one of the Bancroft family parties. To see him sucking up to Murdoch like this seems shameful and unseemly to me, but I’m not the tycoon that Mr. Jaunty is, so what do I know?
