Why is Sam Zell the New Whipping Boy for Anti-Corporate Media Crusaders?new

I admire a gallant crusade as much as the next guy, but StopBigMedia.com has the ring of an army raised to fight the last war. Why should anyone in Chicago take up arms against big media when big media's already falling apart on its own?
