#1 Perhaps the Trib's endorsement Oct 17th of the first dem Presidential candidate in their companies history, would have reduced subscriptions and ad revenue to push Zell's 'change' to now 'hope' in Chapter 11.

#2 Well, it's been the Obama Tribune anyway for quite a while now. All they've got to do is change the masthead.

#4 "Obviously we would not want to complete the reorganization until we felt pretty secure that we understood what the future ongoing visibility was."

Here's the "future ongoing visibility." You're a bunch of lying bastards who couldn't be trusted to tell the truth about the direction the sun will rise in the morning. No one but your little leftie coterie is interested in your lies anymore. You're going down, hard, and you're not coming back. The rest of us are going, "AMFs! Don't bother to write!"

#6 I hope the first to get fired would be ...

Eric Zorn

Mary Schmich

Dawn Turner Trice

Clarence Page

...

Oh yeah and Julia (The Bush administration is persecuting me for my dissent) Keller.

On second thought, just clean the decks entirely.

I can remember when the Trib was a reliably Republican, right-leaning paper. Then the claim was that its owner, one Colonel McCormick, slanted the newspaper to a right-wing bias. I only thought it had good news judgment and treated the facts in stories fairly then.

Well, the Trib has more than made up for that over the years swinging far left on its coverage, columnists and editorial stances.

Good riddance!
