The Chicago Tribune is a very respected newspaper in the Chicagoland area, and I know for a fact that the majority of the editors on the board are conservative/moderate Republicans.

As a Chicago native, born about 6 blocks from Tribune Tower and currently residing in the NW burbs, I am well aware of how the Tribune is perceived. It WAS once considered a staunchly Republican publication. However, the editorial board has taken a sharp turn left over the past decade. The Sunday "Perspective" section regularly pushes a radical leftist view of world events.

How long has it been since you've actually read the Tribune. Can you actually name a single member of the Trib's editorial board who would qualify as a conservative? The only op-ed writer who comes close is Dennis byrne, and he is not a member of the board. Board chariman Wycliff is a left-leaning, milquetoast moderate at best.

I don't believe the Colonel would not fire almost every employee of the Trib concerned with reporting or editorializing. Even its comic pages are filled with Commie crap. I stopped buying it years ago.

My comment above is my personal opinion from personal experiences. I am not going to name names, only that from my personal experience, the Tribune editorial board is moderate to conservative Republican. I grew up in the Northshore Chicagoland area and now reside in Virginia, and I only moved to Virginia two months ago.

You are correct in stating that not all of the editors for the Tribune are conservative, because they aren't. Sure, every once in a while one of the liberal editors will write a liberal op-ed, but that certainly does not make the Tribune editorial board overwhelmingly liberal, because it isn't.
