Journal Register CEO says his company can take on/down Patch

I'm drawing a complete blank: What was the name of that evil guy who ran J-R for all that time and when he died, people were basically dancing on his grave?

 

Bob (May he rest in Hell) Jelenic.

 

Thanks, Baron...I was drawing a blank....even in death, as I recall, nobody really had a kind word about him.

They certainly have the vast network of small properties to do something like this, but whether they put the resources into it is another matter.

 

Anyone know why BYH just punched a hobo?

 

Jelenic is (was) the poster child of bad CEOs in America.

He made a lot of money running a company into the ground, he treated his workers horrifically (just do a Google search), and acted like a total asshole.

 

As a JRC survivor...

Just a lot of gumflapping. Taking down Patch would require spending a little $, which I've seen no indication JRC is willing to do, Jelenic or not.
