The local Onion does it again
The Assclown Times is promoting Daley vs. Sharpton. Man, just how desperate these losers are to get sales?
Murdoch wins Dow Jones
The company that publishes the Wall Street Journal was purchased by News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch for $5 billion, or $60-per-share.
Sun-Times stoop to new lows
The local Onion continues to stir up controversy in its paper rather than report the facts. Take a look at this article from Friday regarding a racially changing Southwest Side neighborhood. Then there’s the continued loony antics of Jay Mariotti , who continues his assault on good journalism. And check this worthless blog where yours truly posted three times. (Apparently, […]
Dow Jones rejects offer from Murdoch
The Bancroft family has rejected an offer from News Corp. to buy The Wall Street Journal. Good. We here in Chicago have seen first hand what Murdoch can do to a newspaper. If he did buy The Wall Street Journal, I know what the front page story would be: “The Bears’ Tank Johnson Gets Down and Dirty in Rap Video.”
The Sun-Times is a disgrace to Chicago
On a day we have immigration marches across the country and a pending veto by President Bush on the Iraq war expected to go down today, THIS is what the Sun-Times lead with this morning: What utter crap. This paper is turning into a joke with each passing day. The way things are going, they will soon become a local […]
The T Dog Media Think Tank: Let’s Get Into It.
The Sun-Times: Let’s Get Into It. But will anyone get into it? The paper relaunched last Wednesday to bring the paper out of the 1990s to the 21st Century, and to stem a continued circulation decline at the newspaper. It has a ton of new features, and it has a new sleek layout and design, and a reemphasis on Chicago. […]
Extremely local news
Chicago Tribune’s Red Eye has started a CTA blog. So, if you want to complain about the CTA (and we all know you do), now you have a place to do so. Man, if this only existed 20 years ago when yours truly was regularly standing out on 79th street outside Sears in the wintertime waiting for a bus for […]
Tribune Watch: Murdoch wants in
Add the owner of NewsCorp to the list of names that want the Tribune Co. Rupert Murdoch wants to buy the Tribune-owned New York Newsday, so he can consolidate back offices between that paper and the New York Post, the paper he owns. But Murdoch owning the Tribune Co.? It may not be likely (because of the regulation mess), but […]
Biggest waste of space since Skip Bayless’ column
Just wondering… Does the Chicago Tribune really need an Internet critic? Given the fact that the guy writing the column is a complete, utter moron: http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/technology_internetcritic/ Another waste of space in the Tribune’s Tempo section.
LOL! That’s funny! Just as funny as "Happy Hour"
If you look on Page 1 of the Chicago Tribune Tempo Section in the lower right-hand corner, the “Tempo Subcommittee on Hissing Cockroaches” you can see why Tribune’s stock is sliding — They obviously hired sitcom writers to write parts of their newspaper, namely the Tempo section (and Dennis Byrne’s crapfest of a column.) Look, if you want to make […]
