New boss, old ways


Ah, that Sam Zell, he can gut a corporate machine, but he can't change its culture. Barack Obama and Sen. Evan Bayh stopped into a Schoops in Portage, Ind., for four cheezeburgers with the works. You wouldn't know that if you visited the Chicago Tribune's web site. You see, if it happened on the eastern side of the border, well, it didn't happen (they did give prime real estate space down page to the Paris Hilton video spoofing John McCain though). Standard operating procedure for the Trib. It was billed as an unannounced campaign stop and it drew about 100 onlookers seeing if they could catch a glimpse of Captain Hope. But how unannounced could it have been if there was a sudden crush of the media: except, apparently, the Chicago Tribune.
