      <![CDATA[Hey, Michael, can you splain why Tribune employees can't get together and fire Zell, since they actually own the newspaper under the ESOP? And conjecture as to why editorial employees aren't running to the Teamsters, the Newspaper Guild, the CWA or another major union to organize immediately so Zell has to fight them collecively instead of individually? What this man is doing to the Tribune is damn near criminal.

Why is all the "innovation" on the backs of the content producers? The content is being gobbled up by people on the web. Why can't business geniuses sell some ads?
