The utter ineptitude of Tribune Company man David Hiller returned en force this morning. Here’s why. The must-read is Andres Martinez’s explanation of why he was compelled to resign. Here’s part of it:
How we come about this decision when 24 hours ago the managing editor of this newspaper was assuring me he didn’t see a story after I walked him through the facts, and while Hiller maintains we did nothing wrong, is a bit perplexing.

UPDATE: Marty Kaplan says with Martinez — Out, it’s gotta be Seacrest time.
And LAObserved has full coverage, as always, if you haven’t already been there.
