    That's certainly local ownership.

    Not his first step into the Omaha journalism world. Once owned the Omaha Sun--which won a Pulitzer Prize for its expose of Boys Town's financial resources.

    November 2012.

    Two headlines on the Omaha World-Herald editor's desk:

    OBAMA RE-ELECTED
    and
    FRAUD AT POLLS

    "I guess we'll have to go with that one," the editor says.

    I wonder, only because of age and not to denigrate the denizens of this board, how many will get it.

    Mr. Bernstein, Mr. Bernstein I believe a rich man should give more of his money to the government rather than advocating higher taxes on the wealthy.

    I get it, but find the comparison inapt.

    I was hoping it was a buffet place, the kind with chicken AND ribs served.

    Assumed he bought it as a tax write-off for his put-upon secretary.
