There are a lot of McClatchy corporate climbers stranded in Minneapolis by Gary Pruitt's decision to sell the Star Tribune to Avista Capital Partners, notes Steve Perry. "They're nice, genial white people who all look the same -- great heads of hair, really like their Dockers and their shirts from Target with a tie, and they all just want to help the company do better," says a newsroom staffer. Some will leave, "and some of them will just turn and kiss the next ass," says Perry's source. "They'll forget that McClatchy was ever here."
