For those of you with an actual interest in the business news, Nightly Business Report, a PBS show based in Miami, led their 1/2 hour broadcast tonight by dedicating the first 10 minutes to this deal. One of the anchors interviewed Matt Rose by phone and repeatedly asked him if he would consider taking over Berkshire-Hathaway when Buffet retires. He stated twice that he is "focused on running BNSF." During the interview, they show some BNSF corporate video. You can watch it by going to
Nightly Business Report and click on program. After today, you can watch past shows from their archive. Also, I had noticed several weeks ago, BNSF is a corporate sponsor of the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Their is a brief "ad" at the beginning and end of the show.
