Zell swears at employee... in public and on camera

If I may editorialize a moment, the following link gives you the palest of overviews concerning the bonfire that burns at the centre of the journalism world right now (specifically newspaper journalism).

A: We need money to keep the paper going.
B: But the means to make money takes away from the paper's integrity.

Two sides, equally frustrated with obstacles the other side doesn't really appreciate.

And then Sam Zell* swears at him employee, which is where my editorial bonfire analogy will stop because I'm really more appalled that he'd treat an employee that way (as opposed to what it may say about management in this debate). To his credit, it appears he apologized.

Sam Zell tells a photog "fuck you."

* - "Salty billionaire Sam Zell has long been known for his foul mouth and abrasive demeanor, rough edges that helped the real estate magnate build a reputation as a feisty and iconoclastic investor. But Zell's bluntness backfired at a Jan. 31 meeting of Orlando Sentinel staff after Zell said "fuck you" to a journalist who twice questioned him about softening news coverage." (Gawker, Feb 4, 2008)
