Toledo Blade

==Background==
* Same owners as Post Gazette, Block Communications, Inc.
==Insights==
* Several craft unions at the Toledo Blade have been locked out with a labor fight for months at the end of 2006. The Toledo Newspaper Guild remains on the job. 
* The unions have created their own anti-management Web site -- http://www.stoptheblade.com. "Do you want the Blade and it's [sic] non-union, non-family, non-American values turning this city or country into CHINA?" the site asks. "This is what the Blade wants!"
==Links==
* Block is countering with two Web sites of its own: http://www.starttheblade.com and http://www.truthattheblade.com. Oddly enough, truthattheblade.com depicts someone reading a fake Blade issue, featuring reports of a hurricane that, the union says, has never existed, and a fictional back page headlined "THE BACK PAGE NEWS."
