Sheffield's Double Standard on Dual-Tier Stock
Topic: NewsBusters

Matthew Sheffield's May 7 NewsBusters defense of Rupert Murdoch's bid for Wall Street Journal owner Dow Jones reminds us: In all of Sheffield's fulminations over the New York Times Co.'s dual-tier stock structure, not once has he noted that Dow Jones has a similar structure, with the Bancroft family controlling 64 percent of the company.

So, Matt: If dual-tier stock is bad for the Times, why isn't bad for Dow Jones?
