The Lying Left-Wing Weasels of the Chicago Tribune

Once, we were the Chicago Tribune "Newspaper Boy of the Month."  We delivered 34 Tribs on Kedvale Ave. in Skokie - between Oakton and Main Sts.



Every 2nd house had a Chicago Tribune delivered daily. A mere 6 unadulterated leftist-Dems had the Chicago Sun-Times delivered.

Today, there are no deliveries of either paper on that street.

This past summer, on a beautiful, warm summer day, we took a 6AM early morning bike ride through the Western part of Morton Grove and Southern part of Glenview.

AND WE SAW A GRAND TOTAL OF 4 CHICAGO TRIBUNES ON DRIVEWAYS OR FRONT LAWNS OVER AN EXPANSE OF 15 MILES !

That grandpa MSN newspaper is dying, irrespective of their protests to the contrary.

They don't want to admit it, but its death is a function of their wild left-wing bias.

Rick Pearson, a so-called journalist, who pimps for the dying Chicago Tribune, even admitted  on his WGN Sunday radio show, that he doesn't attempt to be objective in his reporting - if it gets in the way of his personal (left-wing) agenda.

HOW SICK!

The strange left-wing weasels on the Chicago Tribune editorial board - knowing they had a relatively conservative circulation base, couldn't get over their left-wing orthodoxy to endorse Donald Trump.
Chicago Tribune Weasels

But they knew that they would further antagonize their aging, waning, readership base - and their circulation would further hemhorrage if they endorsed another leftist Democrat like Barack Obama, as they did in 2012.

So these Chicago Tribune weasels - who themselves vote more than 90% Democrat, endorsed a Libertarian (dumber than dirt) joke candidate, Gary Johnson. 

In that endorsement, Colonel McCormick' s esteemed newspaper  joined such esteemed entities as the Marijuana Policy Project, rapper Kurt Rock and magicians Penn and Teller - and nary another supposedly serious newspaper.

When President Trump said that the few remaining mainstream "journalists" are lying, dishonest people - he was probably talking about these creeps who work for the Chicago Tribune.

They live in our midst.
