Ron Burkle is interested in purchasing the WSJ

I was just listening to Ed Schultz on the Radio and low and behold a Democrat is interested in puting in a bid for the Dow Jones, WSJ.

I do not pretend to be a diarist but I thought that this was very interesting news and could certainly change the editorial position of the WSJ if Ron Burkle is serious in his intentions.  I was looking for an article on this after listening to Ed Schultz and I was able to find one here.

It sounds too good to be true.  Here is a short discription of who Ron Burkle is.

Burkle, who made a fortune investing in supermarket chains, had also teamed up last year with a union representing employees at nine Knight Ridder Inc. newspapers in an effort to buy that company. However Knight Ridder wound up selling itself to McClatchy Co., another California-based publisher.

So what do you think?  Could this actually happen?
