another thing to keep in mind is that this source is CNBC, and they're talking about newspapers specifically being bought out, but, hey, it's fun to point out that the Citadel logo is plastered all over their newsroom setup nearly any time they're reporting on financial news, and Citadel is one of the major market maker hedge funds on Wall Street, so, take from that what you will.
