Criticism

One criticism of the Tribune Company is that they are responsible for the Cubs' perpetual losing. The Tribune Company discovered that the Cubs are more profitable fielding a poor team, rather than spending big on free agents. The Chicago Cubs are located in a trendy area of Chicago, causing them to have great attendance at home games, even when the team is doing poorly.

Santa Monica Mirror: The Chandlers: L.A.'s First Family (2061 words)
All three were members of the Times Mirror Board, and all were named as co-conspirators in a class action lawsuit filed in March 1994 by ordinary Times Mirror shareholders against the Chandler family.
The paper which had lost Times Mirror millions during its first ten years, was expected to turn the corner in 1996, but was not ever expected to produce the Willes-mandated sixteen percent operating profit.
Times editors and reporters who survived the Willes holocaust worked nervously between lay-off announcements, amidst rumors that Times Mirror was for sale and watched ruefully as Otis moved further north, away from Los Angeles and his family, first to Ojai then to Bend, Oregon.
FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code (9875 words)
In its March 4, 1999 Order and Memorandum Opinion, the district court concluded that Times Mirror was likely to succeed on the merits of its federal trademark dilution claim and consequently granted Times Mirror's request for a preliminary injunction, thereby enjoining LVSN from using the phrase "Sporting News" in connection with its weekly publication.
Times Mirror's delay was attributable to its belief that LVSN would change the name of its publication.
Times Mirror has simply not come forward with any evidence of "the degree of recognition of the mark in the trading areas and channels of trade used by the marks' owner and the person against whom the injunction is sought." 15 U.S.C. S 1125(c)(1)(F).
