          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.
