Sam Zell at the Los Angeles Times part 3

[HumAnimAlien51]

6:15 "I'm not a newspaper guy. I'm a business man... therefore, all that matters, in the end, is the bottom line. Cuz, as long as we have a bottom line, we have a newspaper."

Yes, you have a VIABLE newspaper in the short run. But do you have a CREDIBLE newspaper in the long run?

1:40 "The TV station and the newspaper don't talk to each other. I don't get it... The answer is we're all one family."

Maybe one day, we, too, will have one voice, one version, for the news - like North Korea.

Well, well. Here we are a few months later, and Sam Zell is just another crapped-out bum, waiting in line for a handout.

"Tribune Seeks to Borrow $125 Million to Help Fund Bankruptcy"

Guess Sam's little pep talk didn't work so well on his creditors. Fuck you Sam. I say you should just eat the loss.

bow down.

I like his style

Why is he an asshole for wanting to create greater use of the assets he owns? Seems like it makes good business sense.
