The Chicago Tribune was the one proudly conservative newspaper we subscribed to wherever we lived. It gradually drifted leftward until it was no better than national locals so we dropped it. Interesting that so many roads lead to Chicago these days. The Chicago Tribune has represented quite well the policies and thinking of the leftist democrat machine that has elected citizen Obama to the presidency of the US. It should have died before it deteriorated into a propaganda sheet for the left in general as well as the local democrat party. Their guy is in now so they have become superfluous. Even the left shrinks from sending good money after bad. Good riddance.
Our local is the Sun Sentinel which I and some others refer to as the Scum Slantinel.
What was Sam Zell thinking? He is a very smart cookie. My guess is he will get rid of a lot of deadwood, union printers and other costs. All these papers are so left wing, pro-illegal alien, pro-gay and pro-Obama it is sickening. Hopefully they will die to save million of trees. I will take trees over printed propaganda any day.
