This is so small and sad and lame:

Trib Tout
A couple of readers tell me they saw a TV commercial this morning for theTribune
showing clips of Patrick Fitzgerald praising them for holding off on
printing a story (or stories) at Fitzgerald’s request, followed by
“Subscribe to theTribune.”

Now edited by Patrick Fitzgerald.

That’s just a joke. I have no particular reason to think theTribune
erred in its decision to acquiesce to Fitzgerald; I simply do not have
the facts. But geez, using it as an advertisement? Beyond tacky.
Totally inappropriate.

Erm, YEAH.
