AOL has posted an online poll this week asking readers who they predict would succeed in buying Dow Jones & Co.? Of 1,350 respondents as of Tuesday afternoon, just 4 percent picked Inquirer owner Philadelpia Media Holdings, led by Brian Tierney. He lost to “Someone Else” at 12 percent but edged investor Ron Burkle at 3 percent. (That would be the second time Tierney edged Burkle - Tierney also outbid Burkle for the Inquirer/Daily News). Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. narrowly led the voting at 41 percent, followed by “Will Not Be Sold” at 40 percent. - Jonathan Berr and Thomas Ginsberg
