Both newspapers have hired too many people that have too little integrity / intelligence. It is sorta sad that neither paper has a more skeptical staff -- to think the morons at both rags could not see the history of failures that they endorse for elected office is just one glaring example of how gullible these people have become...

^ All one has to do is read this endorsement. After one reads it, one probably never will want to buy a Sun-Times again if one still does so.^

"Todd Stroger for Cook County Board president"

October 22, 2006

"...While we believe Republican Tony Peraica is a qualified and experienced candidate who would be dedicated to reform, we fear his agenda would founder on the rocks of the county's Democratic domination, paralyzing his tenure. We therefore endorse Democrat Todd Stroger, the 8th Ward alderman and the son of the former president. "



"...We don't like the way Stroger was put on the ballot to replace his father, who stepped down after suffering a stroke, and we wish Stroger had a stronger record on which to run. But we recognize the reality that if change is going to happen in this Democrat-dominated body, it's going to come from within the Democratic party."



It gets better, but there are limitations on how much of an article can be posted here.
