I relish no job loss. I find what happened at the Trib disgusting and repellent in that it hurt a hell of a lot of good people, though the place for years was run by the foolish.

You've every right to your opinion, but I find it amazing that the Scaife Kool-Aid drinkers continue to think the man had a logical vision of how to produce a newspaper. He never did. His "vision" was rooted in his vast wealth, personal immaturity and a deep hatred and paranoia that canceled out his good deeds (like his support for Planned Parenthood and his staunch belief in First Amendment rights).

Sadly, Dick had good people working there who believed in him and bought into the creatively spun circ numbers that could pass audit but weren't that solid. He also had what can only be called a "cult following," especially in the Opinion section. It's interesting none of those folks are there any longer.

With the Trib, people like yourself want to believe there was a THERE there. But you can't answer one simple question: if things were going so well, with all that amazing growth, why is TTM in their current state? The whistling past the graveyard obvious in your posts can't change that. As the truth comes out, you and those like you simply can't or won't accept the reality.

This says it all. Try and refute it, if you will. And bear in mind this is not coming from a bleeding-heart liberal.
