"Like many newspapers, we're feeling financial pressures," Hanke Gratteau, the Chicago Tribune's managing editor for news, said.

"Like many newspapers, we're losing readers and advertisers at an amazing rate due to competition from on-line news sources that don't try to hide the fact that they're biased. We have decided to approach this problem in exactly the same way as every other newspaper in the country. Specifically, we will lay off editors, reporters, pressmen, route managers, and janitorial staff, until there is just a single college-educated liberal, swimming against the tide of reality while making himself and his two remaining readers feel really good inside. It'll be his job to turn off the lights."
