The Trib EDITORIAL BOARD still has some vestiges of non-Liberalism. The Tribune national news reporters, their news articles, and their commentators are solidly (almost unanimously) left-wing. One must distinguish between the impact of a once-every-four-years endorsement, and the daily barrage of left-wing slanted news articles and commentary, to see the true impact of a newspaper.
Re Trib:
Point taken. Wall Street Journal another example.
