Bob Trane suing The Somerville Journal

A friend e-mailed me this. It seems rather odd and childish. Bob Trane is suing the Somerville Journal over a cartoon? In my opinion, it does not send a good message about Trane, frankly. Comments?

Not that I disagree on it being a huge error, but Gatehouse Media is going through such upheaval that I am not surprised some things are falling through the cracks. And also, things like this do happen at newspapers from time to time, upheaval or no. Not that that is any consolation to Trane, nor should it be, but these things do happen. I sincerely doubt the Journal/Gatehouse did anything purposefully, as it would surely backfire in their face if they did.

I'm sure that Gatehouse didn't do this on purpose, but still, I expect better from my long-established local newspaper. This wasn't a little 6-inch, 2-column ad, this was a full-pager, a hard thing to lose track of.
