With Gannett shares getting clobbered an extraordinary 14%, one reader wrote: "Someone is going to go after Gannett. Hard. I just don't see GCI being able to survive in its current form. I think the only question is 'Who?'"
Time for an auction, another reader said: "Sooner or later Gannett's board will realize that this Elmer-glued collage of big newspapers, small newspapers, community newspapers, foreign newspapers, TV stations and oddball websites is unsustainable. The stuff's not going to be worth much more in the near future. A lot of the papers won't be worth anything at the rate Gannett is dismantling them and outsourcing so many functions. Time to test the market and see what these papers and stations will bring on eBay."Finally, noting a sly reference to my nickname for Al Neuharth, a third reader said: "Refresh us, what's your nickname for Al? Big Al? Little Neuharth? Octogenarian Retired CEO Who Still Suckles at the Corporate Teat? Bloodsucking Egomaniacal Asshole? Beezlebub? Any of them work."
