"If you had this warm and fuzzy feeling about being taken over by McClatchy, I suspect that has dissipated. As a financial steward, you couldn't get anybody to run your company better than Gary Pruitt, but you can't look at everything from a financial steward point of view. For heaven’s sake, newspapers are a public trust. He’s acting as if he's running a green bean cannery."
-- John Morton, industry analyst
