The link from BusinessWeek above is another example of inaccuracies in published articles. This story was published right after Murdoch’s bid.

“Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Blackstone are trying to take control of Clear Channel (CCU).” I believe it is Thomas H. Lee Partners and Bain Capital. I don’t understand how these can be published without the facts being checked - and without any corrections being posted.
