    The Sunday Business Post…. I’m always intrigued at some of their takes. Last week they had a P1 story in a ‘new Indo Crisis’ which transpired to the hot ait – a letter from O’Brien to the Chair, so what’s new in that.

    This week was a bit of howler. An article in their Media and Marketing section was giving the up to date of the Mail/Mail On Sunday. Fairly positive from Associated point of view. The article went of do discuss circulation figures…

    Scan attached.

    Serious, if you can’t get the small parts correct, what are we to make of the rest of the article.

    Sunday Business Post? It'll be gone by March 2012.

    The Irish Times should have purchased it instead of Myhome.ie as it would have been a far better fit.

    Why would the crosby group sell it?
    Fits in better with the Examiner than the south side dublin gazette

    Nah, Indo group to fold first share price is through the floor. Unless Denis O'Brien can buy it out.

    " Unless Denis O'Brien can buy it out"

    He'd want to piss or get off the pot he's been sitting on for that past 3 years. He's never made a bid for the company, just brought enough to avoid that. He's not the white knight - far from it.

    I'm confused, what is the mistake exactly?

    That bit of the article refers to 'Ireland on Sunday', which the Mail took over some years back and changed it to Mail in Sunday. Its sloppy in the extreme, and really sloppy when its in the 'media and marketing' section

    Ah, I get it now. That's pretty bad alright. I usually find their M&M to be pretty good all the same, although perhaps more on the second m than the first.

    Shame iOS didn't stick around. They could have sued Apple. More lucrative than selling newspapers.
