Media stocks in general have rebounded nicely over the last few months, presumably due do cost cutting and the hope of improved revenue as business activity increases. So now that these stocks have rebounded up, they offer a great shorting opportunity if you believe that expectations are overly optimistic. When you consider that any additional overhead cuts will likely impair the productive parts of their business, then it becomes apparent how little a margin of error these businesses have between prosperity and bankruptcy.

Media stock that owns newspaers. It has had a recent run up. Time to sink again.
