The Progressive Independent Voice of Chicago reflects the political will that ‘corkscrews’ everthing it touches into the loam.

There must not be a great deal of money in spitting on the readership.

I never imagined that the day would come when Chicago would lack quality daily newspapers.

I miss the Daily News.

This is a hate-full article.

My recollection is that Mr Roeser is a Republican operative masquerading as a journalist who lives in that alternate universe where facts are merely impediments to the Republican talking points of hate and distortion.

That gang usually claims a corner on morality, and as Bill Maher might say, “religulosity.” Where is your human compassion?

Mr Roeser, time and tide are passing you by. The Republican party and the hate mongers are fading fast. Please get on the ship before it leaves and keep your schadenfreude about people losing their livelihood in the dark corners of your dark spaces with your friend Dick Cheney where it can be buried.

Yes, I am human, are you?

I suspect the Sun Times will die soon and that the Tribune may become a once a week, on Sunday, newspaper with updates on the internet.

Time will tell.

It’s a sad day for journalism. I remember great stuff like the “Mirage Tavern” series on corruption back in the 70′s. That’s “when dames was dames and newspapers was newspapers.”

The Mirage Tavern series brings back memories… those days are long gone…

According to the Associated Press, The Tribune Corporation (which includes the The Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times) lost $121.6 million in the last quarter.

One would think that the LA Times would have sold the videotape of Barack Obama toasting Arab leaders to the highest bidder to raise some badly needed cash. Like the Chicago Cubs, the value of that asset has diminished recently and I do not think that it will fetch as much on the market today.

Hank Browne — can’t any Leftie posters stick to discussing the details of the article instead of spewing the typical Kos off-topic template?

Why not you?

Can not this be printed?

Changed to Voice dilevery to iPhones (podcast)?

Hire some of the others?

Promoted the good sence?

Can you not come up with something as clever as beer can (name your animal here)?

It is not paper/ink/politics/slant that make a paper but the honest examining of ideas and events.

The sun times is in the same company as NYT and trib and reader.

Arise old Phenoix, not not pay the man in the ferry boat and journey the Styx without a try.

Has anyone at the Sun-Times considered making the paper complimentary. It would certain increase readership, and thus advertising dollars. Is there any other way to save the Sun Times?

Watch for the Dem Congress and Pres. Obama to ressurect the fairness doctrine to stiffle conservative talk radio and come up with a gov. bailout of major(liberal)print media. The money will be distributed according to the dictates of the Obama administration. The rationale will be that the daily newspaper plays too vital a roll in Democracy to let it die. Of course, after the gov. bail out, the willingness of these papers to critize the leftists or point out the corruption in places like Chicago will be, shall we say, “chilled.”
