RE:RE:RE:google facebook growing faster with digital adsIt's the only way to salvage anything. Problem is Thompson is the richest family in Canada and likely will not want to pay top dollar. On the other hand torstar did take an interest in globe many years ago so they are friendly to each other. Advertising budgets are only so big and based on this last week facebook Google are accelerating at 20 percent growth. This looks like coming principally from print media and to a lesser extent tv. Noticed CBS announced about a 2 percent drop. I think this is like a pendulum swinging strongly towards Google facebook for now but will settle back and find an equilibrium. That could take another 5 years though as advertisers will go where they get biggest bang for the buck. In other industry transformations a consolidator emerges that keeps things going until the pendulmn rebalances. Torstar is unable to be a consolidator. I think watsa has lost interest many years ago. Management and board have proven their incompetence.
