They had an article about it two days ago and they didn't waste any time. The Tribune has gone paywall. John Kass now sits behind a paywall so I have even another reason not to click through on him. Maybe there's a contingent of old people who would pay to read John Kass but do they really know how to use a computer? Physically Kass seems to have morphed into how I remember Bob Greene looked and the subject matters the two discuss are similar. Is John Kass really Bob Greene? But I digress... Hot chicks at clubs is still free which is about the only real reporting the Trib does. All national and international news comes out of LA Times if you read the bylines. And they moved all their comments over to Facebook so no more drive-by comments from me? I always thought it was fun every now and then to contribute a zinger to some article the mouthbreathers weren't all over -- mostly in the business section. It felt kind of like posting to Usenet where hardly anyone actually reads it and no one cares. If someone submits a comment that no one reads is that considered a comment? At least on Facebook some bot on Facebook reads and catalogs your comment. Thus the corollary: If a tree falls in the forest and no one heard but the robot who went to saw it up into 2x4s, did it make a noise?
