Don’t you hate when people apologize, but really just blame you? Like, if we were to say, "sorry this site is riddled with grammatical errors, but maybe you should get back to checking for copy editing mistakes in your own work?"
Actually, we are sorry about any grammatical errors on this site. Please stay here and click all around. Don’t go looking for copy editing mistakes in your own work.
Sam “Watch X-Tube in the Office” Zell did just that. He sent out what he described as a mea culpa but wasn’t at all:
In some of these meetings, I used language that was deliberately outrageous. … You may not like me or the way I say things, but I’m thrilled and delighted that for the first time, you may actually have an opinion about your CEO. … So I ask you, when was the last time the industry sat up to take notice of Tribune, or cared what we had to say? …Extremism in the pursuit of opportunity is not a vice. You’ve seen me step over the edge, if only to get you to take a few steps toward the line.
We’re confused about this mythical line: What does pornography at work have to do with great journalism? It’s times like this we’re happy the Tribune Company isn't hiring.
