Wife of publisher won't retract story on Democrat donor who she claims is a “staunch Republican”

I posted this a couple of days ago. Jennifer Hunter of the Sun Times wrote an article claiming a “staunch Republican” was switching to the Democrats. The only problem- the “staunch Republican is a big time personal injury attorney who donated thousands to Dem candidates and a mere pittance to Republicans. I emailed Ms. Hunter (admittedly a snotty missive) and she didn’t respond. I’ve read several blogs where people have claimed to email her but only one actually said she responded. Ms. Hunter is the wife of the Sun Times publisher (John Cruikshank). I have no idea how things work at that paper, but, perhaps, if you’re married to the boss, you don’t have to follow the rules of journalism. We can sit back and watch as the likes of Ms. Hunter write phony articles about non-existent staunch Republicans switching allegiance to the Democrats. Or we can demand an answer. Amazingly, the Sun Times recently featured a front page expose about how Chicago cops are hiding info about policemen who have ten or more civilian complaints against them . The headline reads- “What are they hiding” Well, I’d like to know what Mr Cruikshank and Ms. Hunter are hiding. Let’s find out. jhunter@suntimes.com

Wow! What about a competitor paper?

[Krankor]

I can’t believe this. The pollsters are right- conservatives don’t give a damn anymore. We’ve been beaten- they win. Except for some silly story (raccoon gives birth to twin girls), I’ll never post here again. We’ve lost and I don’t give a damn. I will never give a dime to any Republican candidate again. Damn, I’ll give money to Hillary, at least she has the courage of her convictions.

Spun Times has reached tabloid status, that may help them LOL.

Have you ever considered that the reason they don’t need an ombudsman is they’re never wrong?
All you have to do is ask them, becaise they never lie either.

perhaps, if you’re married to the boss, you don’t have to follow the rules of journalism.

No, you have it reversed. This incident proves that even the publisher's wife must "follow the rules of journalism". Which is why she lies about Republicans.

"Said the guy had given Dems thousands and Repubs about 600 dollars."

Yup. Rush covered this today.

The Tribune is further to the left...at least it used to be...

[mimaw]

What convictions?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

There is more than one version of “republican”. Some think the term means “friendly to business and industry so I can make buku bucks and retire on the French Riviera”, and others are Republican for the “freedom thing”. I am proud to be among the latter. It doesn’t surprise me if some of the others sell out, they always follow the money.

Hey, the paper came out and said they were going liberal. Then someone said, “OMG we used the L word.” and they restated that they would be a progressive paper. So ... they are already on record as saying the truth doesn’t matter a whit. And someone expects them to retract a lie???

[NonValueAdded]

I did that when I lived in Mass. except I'd register as a RAT so I could vote for Teddy the K's primary opponent. No need to vote in a republican primary since if they could actually scratch up a candidate, he was unopposed in the primary. You could fill in a form and switch back to Independent right then and there.

PS Ted, happy Chappaquiddick anniversary.

Krakpot is a plant.

He’s going from thread to thread trashing Republicans like a faggot.

Just to let you know, I sent her a flaming hot email the day this story was first posted here.

Make life hell for these lying, POS people.

And was that Republican Arlen Specter or who?

Did you ever understand why MA people idolize EMK? Is it merely a measure of the two assassinations, or is it just a longing for “Camelot” which never was?
