Sam Zell is a crazy old man who bought Tribune Company a little while back. Since then, he's laid hundreds off, hired a bunch of nutty radio people, and done a LOT OF SHOUTING. It's refreshing! He says whatever's on his mind! He's irascible! No-nonsense! A breath of fresh air, telling it like it is! And we're fucking sick of it. Here he is shouting about things on NPR. He hasn't turned anything around yet, but he certainly yells a lot! Sam Zell says the YouTube was started in a garage and you don't know your ass from your elbow! Colorful vulgarisms will save journalism! [NPR]
