Bob Trane suing The Somerville Journal

[nvidia99999.livejournal.com]

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?

I don't think the Somerville Journal exists as an independent company, so if you're "suing the Journal", you're really suing Community Newspaper Company aka GateHouse Media.

Legally, of course, that's correct. But in terms of whom Trane's beef is with, there are two different targets. The problem with the ad is almost certainly due to the ad or production staff in Framingham or Needham or wherever they are. The cartoon, or at least the decision to run it, is a product of the editorial staff in Somerville. I hope that they don't talk to each other too much.
