Tribune Newspapers Exec Suspended Over NSFW E-mail
Lee Abrams, the eccentric chief innovation officer for Tribune newspapers -- and no stranger to NewsBusters criticism -- has reportedly been suspended for sending co-workers a not-safe-for-work (NSFW) e-mail.
Phil Rosenthal and Michael Oneal of the Chicago Tribune reported the story this afternoon (story accessed here via the Los Angeles Times):
Tribune Co. chief innovation officer Lee Abrams has been placed on indefinite suspension without pay pending review of a companywide memo he sent to staff Monday that spurred a rash of employee complaints.
Abrams apologized Tuesday "to everyone who was offended" by the e-mail, which included a link to a video labeled "Sluts" that included female nudity. The incident occurred less than a week after a New York Times story that characterized Tribune management as fostering a sexist "frat house" atmosphere.

Yeah, it appears he may have taken his "innovation" just a little too far. -DaveVote for the American in November

You know, to view the evidence and come to a more reasoned conclusion. ;)

Exactly right, as having all the information available prevents things being taken out of context, which sharply reduces the chances of someone going off half-cocked. -DaveVote for the American in November

What about the progressive, morally relative BS the left is always spouting off about? I thought they believed in that stuff?
Oh, they believe in that stuff...
