block 37? usable by 2008? that poor cursèd plot o' land? yeah, right.

Hey, you guys missed a great story of Chicago Tribune hypocracy.

They have a story on the website about the FCC investigating television stations who use corporate-produced commericals in their news segments without indicating their source. They put the segment in their regular news broadcast and the viewers don't realize its essentially a commercial.

The interesting ommission in their story is the fact that Tribune-owned WGN is the only Chicago station being investiaged for engaging in this dishonest practice!

Dishonesty piled upon dishonesty!

Does everything in this city have to be turned into a theme park like experience? Is it no longer enough for people just to be able to look out the top of the sears tower and marvel at everything they can see without assistance and a song and dance?

@ james: see exhibit a - cellular field. i rest my case. :D
