      <![CDATA[Could it be that these new Trib "visionaries" are trying so hard to be the antithesis of what's passed for Tribune leadership and corporate culture that they've swung wildly in the opposite direction? Buttoned-down and bland didn't necessarily need to be replaced by profane and crazy.

      <![CDATA[Lee needs to get in touch with a good editor, or face auto-deletion of his future emails.
    
    Tribune is bringing in a lot of people with histories of past innovation.
    
    Unfortunately, past success in other enterprises doesn't guarantee the near-term survival of this company.
    
    Can these new leaders quickly and cohesively come together to translate their various visions into financially viable solutions? 
    
    Can these leaders counter-act the inevitable ongoing loss of creative talent now occuring at their facilities?
    
    Tribune is a deeply troubled and disorganized conglomerate in a declining industry.
    
    Changing an entire corporate culture in effective ways takes more than grandstanding and fear mongering from those in charge.
    
    Lee's "Disneyland for the mind" (and other visions) are nice and pleasant to contemplate, in utopian sorts of ways, but how do they translate into actionable items that can affect the bottom line NOW.
    
    With the short timelines coming up to meet their various debt payments, in an economy on the brink of recession, they have a very daunting task ahead in getting beyond the current (and seemingly never-ending) pontification and speach making stages, and on to producing results that can save this company.
