Donald Trump is evidently eager to buy the New York Times, according to a report in New York magazine.
Writer Joe Hagan cites "sources familiar with the situation" who claim Trump "has engaged in more than one meeting to discuss how he might buy the Grey Lady."
He rightly notes that there is scant chance of the owners, the Sulzberger family, selling to Trump. I'd say it was remote to zero.
As Business Insider's Jay Yarow remarks, Trump's timing is poor. After a difficult period a couple of years ago, the New York Times company's ship has since been steadied somewhat.
