This is hilarious. Click to hear Sam Zell answer an Orlando Sentinel photographer's question and punctuate it with an almost imperceptible "fuck you" (I'm sure most in the room thought he said "thank you"). After clicking above, make sure you view both video versions. The questioner, according to Gawker, is an O-S staffer named Sara Fajardo, who reportedly received a telephoned apology from Zell over the weekend.

This follows on the heels of Zell calling Sun-Sentinel publisher Howard Greenberg a "motherfucker," though the commenters below differ on how he meant it.

I, personally, am simply appalled by this sort of behavior. How very un-corporate and un-orchestrated. FitzSimons would have never done something like that!
