Tribune columnist Eric Zorn caught Sun-Times Michael Sneed red-handed and highlighted it for readers in his blog today.
CHICAGO - IllinoisLeader.com would like to thank Tribune columnist Eric Zorn for blowing the whistle on Sun-Times gossip columnist Michael Sneed who failed to attribute one of her famous "sneedlings" about Jack Ryan starting a newspaper in Will County to the Leader which broke the story five days before she referred to it in her column.
Zorn's blog today [BE LIKE MIKE (SNEED)", January 4] highlights what Sneed wrote and when she wrote it and what the Leader wrote and when we wrote it, with the contributions from both entities hyperlinked.
Zorn terms Sneed's technique as a "lesson from the Michael Sneed Famous Columnists School."
