Chicago-based billionaire and Tribune Co. honcho Sam Zell doesn’t take too kindly to uppity ink-stained wretches reminding him about what’s important in the newspaper business besides the bottom line. Here, an Orlando Sentinel journo grapples with him in a lively exchange that ends with Zell letting fly with an F-bomb.

Yeah, he made his point.  I don’t get why he needed to throw the bomb.  It seemed a little misplaced.  And bullshit, Mr. Zell.  You aren’t trying to increase your profits so you can “afford” journalists, you increase your profits because that’s what makes rich people feel more human or manly or whatever feeling they’re after...by making vast amoounts of money and flaunting it.

to confront your ink brothers at the NYTimes and ask them how hard it was to overlook the charges going off at the trade center?
