      <![CDATA[Jay's right about one thing, though; the Sun-Times website is awful. Looks and feels like it was launched sometime around 2001. The Trib site's not perfect by any means (waaay too much video clogging everything up) but at least with the Trib you know where to look for stuff.

      <![CDATA[The funny thing is, I don't think anyone realized just how much readers hated Mariotti. Sure, there's something to be said about the fact that he got people talking about the paper--but negative words are the last things the Sun-Times need at this point. 
    
    I have heard so much praise about him leaving--including multiple promises to pick up the ST now that he's gone. 
    
    Roger Ebert is amazing. That letter made my day.

      <![CDATA[Don't miss Neil Steinberg today either. And regarding MM's comment yesterday that all this makes the S-T look "silly," I disagree. I think it's wise to let the staff vent after years of bottled-up resentment. It's cathartic. Jay's departure provides a positive rallying point for a demoralized staff facing more cuts. And I don't blame them for trying to parlay this into a micro-campaign to lure back readers. Why not? Who knows why they kept re-upping his contract when he was so loathed by both colleagues and management, but something must have been going on behind the scenes. The important thing now is that he's gone.
