Blagojevich was told a Tribune exec would be "going after" the editorial section
By Jim Romenesko

Chicago Sun-Times
In a Nov. 11 intercepted call, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was told by his chief of staff that a "Tribune Financial Advisor" talked to Sam Zell and Zell "got the message [about the editorial board] and is very sensitive to the issue." The chief of staff told the governor that according to Tribune Financial Advisor, there would be "certain corporate reorganizations and budget cuts coming and, reading between the lines, he's going after that section." Blagojevich allegedly responded: "Oh. That's fantastic."
