the liberal media hates Ed Lampert because he donates heavily and exclusively to GOP candidates. "Most Hated"? Give me a break. Further down in the story the author says Mr Lampert's "wealth got him kidnapped". I guess because he was one of those evil rich people it must have been his fault.
Sears Roebuck, as the company used to be known, was the Amazon.com (AMZN) of its day, thanks to its comprehensive mail-order catalog and early expansion across fast-growing postwar suburbs. Sears was once so powerful that it built and anchored the largest skyscraper in the country in Chicago (now the Willis Tower).
Yet public affection for storied store brands often doesn't survive generational shifts, and Sears has been largely rejected by today’s shoppers in favor of newer chains with larger formats and better pricing, from Target Corp. (TGT) to Home Depot Inc. (HD) to Kohl’s Corp. (KSS)
