I must also add that the Chicago Tribune city-based rag virulently savages Republican administrations in the suburban counties at every opportunity.
Its staff writers, columnists and editorialists adhere to the MSM motto, "The Only Good Republican Administration is a Dead One".......and of course, in good MSM fashion, they do all they can to kill off the Republican party-led governments in the outlying counties, especially conservative ones.
The vast Tribune conglomerate includes ownership of the LA Slimes and the Orlando Senile.....'nuff said.
Now that the slowly-dying Chicago Fib has the golden opportunity to put a conservative State's Attorney in its sights it will be gleefully relentless.
BB-gun shots on this thread aimed at Mr. Birkett from a freeper detractor living in Moldovo, a nominally "democrat republic" country which is communist-riddled and stifles the media and human rights, are beanbag.
Beanbag in comparison to the Tribune's howitzer shells historically lobbing from Daleyland out to the Republican 'burbs.
So be patient till State's Attorney Birkett concludes the investigation. He'll do the right thing, because he's a man of character.
The Chicago Tribune will lie or slant, you can count on it.

I have always enjoyed reading the Chicago Tribune, and have found it to have excellent editorial balance.
Its columnists, like Mike Royko (RIP), John Kass, Clarance Page, Steve Chapman &tc can hardly be called biased. It is unfortunate that the Trib owned the Cubs franchise, but everyone makes mistakes (Go Sox!).
I would rely on the Trib giving good balanced coverage to this story.
