All of the Chicago papers are not worthy of fish wrap.
The Chicago LIBune and the Daily Southtown are both DemoRAT rags!
The Chicago Tribune was a great conservative publication when I was growing up in Chicago, and turned into liberal trash about 15 years ago.
Couple that with an over-hyped 91+Million dollar a year ball club and you're seeing the result on Wall Street today. And their WGN and CLTV is also second rate at best.
But the Chicago Tribune is easily the worst of all their products, total garbage.
Don't forget the Slum Times and that marvelous Daily Defender.
I don't know that I'd call the Trib a liberal paper in the NYTimes, LATimes sense.
I don't think they've ever endorsed a Democrat for President since they've been around.
