    Be European billionaire hoping to make a play in the United States

    See struggling newspaper chain. Want to be like Bezos.

    Announce support to buy struggling newspaper chain.

    Investigates struggling newspaper chain, figure out why its struggling and realize there's no chance of making more money for me.

    Exit bid. "Sorry, guys. I didn't know what I was in for. Good luck!"

    Swiss billionaire pulling out seems like very bad news for Tribune journalists. Maybe the Baltimore guy can still pull it off. But Alden seems inevitable, meaning the death of nine major news outlets.
