Who Has Purchased Call Newspapers?

No, they haven't been sold. Not their business that is, just their integrity. That's what little that was left. Today's the last paper before the primary election and I'm sure the Call will strongly endorse whomever gives them the most money. That's not always easy to figure out because large sums of money have been given to the Call already by Arron Hilmer. This means his guy gets preferential treatment. The Call will, of course, take money from the other candidates for ads. They just won't get the good placement, endorsement or glowing letters to the editor that the purchaser gets.
Election time is critical for the Call. They are mired in debt and are losing good people. I'm working to confirm a variety of problems with medical insurance, bookkeeping and sales staff. Stuff has hit the fan.

As to the Call actually ever being sold, don't get your hopes up. They're not making money. Milligan and Baker/Milligan would want to keep their jobs. Nobody would pay for that. We are going to watch this ship go down and it won't be pretty. It never was.
