Dennis probably cost Tribune Co as much as Conrad stole from Hollinger International, he just did it with his boards approval. Good Bye & Good Riddance!

Lord Black also had the approval of his board, but Fitzgerald decided that he should still be incarcerated, and was able to convince a jury likewise.

For years, Tribune management has done little to improve the company's bottom line beyond cutting costs and eliminating jobs. If Sam Zell really means to grow Tribune, rather than sell off its most profitable parts, getting rid of existing management, no matter what the cost, would be a good first step. FitzSimons doesn't deserve this payment after the poor job he has done, but what failed corporate executive does? It may be hard for some to see the difference between Black’s and FitzSimons’ thievery, but this is the way of the world.
