On the Judith Regan story. I’m too lazy to link (and bored with this story), but being a responsible blogger, I have to revise my original statement that ReganBooks was “highly profitable.”

I am now skeptical of that assumption. Some reports have ReganBooks as a 40-person operation. If that’s true (and I don’t see how it could be—it seems absurd), there’s no way it’s profitable. Indeed, ReganBooks may not have been profitable enough, period, to make worthwhile the continuing negative news stories about the Judith. Thus the firing at the first possible opportunity after the scandal that damaged King Rupert.

I am also puzzled about whether Regan was let go from both NewsCorp and HarperCollins, or indeed if she had a separate arrangement with NewsCorp. No one is saying.

Is no one digging for this information? Why not?
