Hopefully living with the knowledge that he has disgraced his name brings him at least some shame. Unfortunately, I doubt it even matters to a low life like him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639893053950014759.post-90570891090751045902009-06-11T07:43:01.289-04:002009-06-11T07:43:01.289-04:00Sadly what Zell and Benji "Too Fat To Wipe&qu...Sadly what Zell and Benji "Too Fat To Wipe" Homel are doing is probably legal, at least on paper.

Kramer - Thu 04 Jun 2009 02:19 PM PST<br /><br />No, it’s not the title of Al Franken’s newest book. It’s the assessment by John Carroll, former editor of the Baltimore Sun and the Los Angeles Times—two papers being burnt down by Tribune Co. to save them.<br /><br />Carroll told The (Maryland) Daily Record: “Zell may be a genius in other lines of work, but he is an idiot in terms of journalism.” <br /><br />Former Sun publisher Michael Waller echoed those views: <br /><br />“Tribune management confuses innovation with idiocy. I could wear my underwear over my trousers and Tribune would think that’s innovation. Everybody else would think I was wacko.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639893053950014759.post-55896293432037119872009-06-10T10:36:55.612-04:002009-06-10T10:36:55.612-04:00I will bet you there is more to this story.

Zell has plans and I would not be surprised if they include radio. We know there is no money in the radio they manufacture/produce. We also know that they have perfected their smoke and mirrors routine and always manage to latch on to some lackey who will buy their crap. I am telling you, John.
