If Kerry didn't have his loyal mediots in control of most of the media, he would never be in the news. He is not news, and they know it.

The free market punishes sloppy work.
Cracks appear in the liberal monolith. FR contributes to the inevitable decline of elite media.
Morning in America, indeed.

You are welcome.
Probably 98% of Freepers reading this thread are laughing and have a big smile on their face.

The Trib is hard to avoid in Chicago. Besides the newspaper, they own WGN and WGN-TV plus the Chicago Cubs.
On the west coast they own what is arguably the worst newspaper in the country, the L.A. Times.

You are right on target with these these comments:

The Trib and the mass votes of the dead have insured the Rat control of Chicago for most of the last century and this century.

The Gorhoid Inner Cities are controlled by left wingers, who use left wing fish wraps and their dead to win control each election. I don't see anyway to break that control up.

All of the Chicago papers are not worthy of fish wrap.
The Chicago LIBune and the Daily Southtown are both DemoRAT rags!

It's a marketing problem of their own making. The policies advocated by both papers have assured that most of their constituency can't read and don't have the money to buy what is advertised.
This is beyond self-fulfilling prophesy; it's self-fulfilling policy.

Many local papers, even rural weeklies, are on line, as are many TV stations in mid-size markets. Factor in cable news and there is no need for a newspaper. Our closest mid-sized city paper has been loosing the female 18-34 demo for a few years and even adding coupons does not help. You can get many coupons on line and most stores keep tear sheets of the local coupons near the registers.

The Chicago Tribune was a great conservative publication when I was growing up in Chicago, and turned into liberal trash about 15 years ago.
Couple that with an over-hyped 91+Million dollar a year ball club and you're seeing the result on Wall Street today. And their WGN and CLTV is also second rate at best.
But the Chicago Tribune is easily the worst of all their products, total garbage.

The Trib was always the conservative paper in Chicago.
It's morphication into liberal slime has been very disheartening.
The L.A. Times has always been left of Guam. Even more so these days.
They've all been "feminazized." Like all public schools and universities. Lesbians and sissy-boys run the shows.
Now they've taken over print media.

FYI, They've taken control of the entire state of Illinois, controlling the excutive and both houses in the state legislature.
And President Bush and Speaker Hastert only pay homage to these dems and pore huge federal dollars into the stinkin' scialist state. For 30 years Illinois has routinely gotten $1.30+ back from the feds for every dollar sent to DC.
The three largest employers in the state since the 1980s are the federal, state and Chicago governments. Jewel (a food store is always a distant fourth.
Illinois used to be a proud, economically strongly diverse state, now it relies almost solely on federal monies.

"The policies advocated by both papers have assured that most of their constituency can't read and don't have the money to buy what is advertised."
"This is beyond self-fulfilling prophesy; it's self-fulfilling policy."
I have been saying this for years. That the pro abortion, pro drugs, pro ebonics, pro NEA and pro dumbing down of the inner cities agendas are reducing the power of the libs and their buddies the mediots.
This is another reason why left wing talk radio shows have such a short half life. Their targeted audiences don't have the mental ability to listen to discussion. They can only respond to 5 to 10 word mantras.
