San Francisco Bay Guardian executive editor Tim Redmond reports that Josh Fromson "provided almost nothing" in his turn as a witness yesterday in the
Bay Guardian-SF Weekly predatory-pricing lawsuit. Redmond suggests that Fromson feigned ignorance in response to questions posed by the
Bay Guardian's attorney during a hearing designed to help the paper collect on its judgment against
SF Weekly and its parent company, Village Voice Media. Earlier this year, a San Francisco Superior Court jury
ruled in favor of the Bay Guardian, and the judge in the case
set damages at $15.9 million. VVM announced last month that it plans to
appeal the ruling.
