Sam Zell speaks

NPR has the audio of Sam Zell's meeting with the Los Angeles Times' Washington bureau. Basically, he doesn't like journalists because they're too arrogant to use their positions to help him make money. Says former LA Times writer Joe Matthews, who was at the meeting: "I always thought there was a bright line there, and if you did that sort of thing you'd get fired ... Reporters are there to serve readers, find the truth, get facts and present them to readers in as engaging a way as possible."
