Tribune Fever: Catch It!

The Tribune's website has a cool new Cubs Fever section. I don't remember their Sox Fever section in 2005. Do you? Of course, the Tribune doesn't profit directly from Sox Fever, but they do profit directly from Cubs Fever, and so what if they violate the provision of journalism ethics that says,

"Journalists should avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived, remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility, disclose unavoidable conflicts... deny favored treatment to advertisers and special interests and resist their pressure to influence news coverage."

Hardly anyone seems to respect their "journalism" anyway. You can't polish a turd, as they say.

When you go to the Tribune's new Cubs Fever section, you can watch a bunch of mediocre Tribune videos about the Tribune's precious Cubbies and you can send a Piniella-Gram. I don't remember seeing an Ozzie-Gram in 2005, do you? Even though Ozzie tends to say more colorful things than Lou. And more true things. With an Ozzie-Gram, for example, you could call Jay Mariotti a $&$%#% #^$*&.

Or an #$%$# *&.

Let's see if we can make Lou tell the truth by clicking on him:
