Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
That the Fibune languishes on as a going concern is the 8th Wonder of the World.
If a tree falls in a forest and there’s nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound? What exactly is a Chicago Tribune?
Is it possible that the female reporters and the black reporters are simply incompetent? I can say for certain that Heidi Stevens is a woke zombie and anyone who’s title is “criminal justice reporter” is massively biased from the start.
Anyone know anybody who still subscribes to the Trib? There can’t be a whole lot of revenue to compensate any of the remaining staff. The amount of money needed to settle this lawsuit and back pay for this large number of employees will bankrupt the Trib for good. No tears here.
These kids don’t understand that the Trib is already dead. In response to the collapse in subscribers, the Trib has resorted to littering Chicagoland driveways with the print equivalent of spam.

Only low rent activists remain to regurgitate DNC talking points and pretend it’s news. The company got rid of the real journalists over the last twenty years, replacing them with DNC stenographers like the odious Kristi Parsons. Bleeding… Read more »
The staff has been cut so severely in recent years that I suspect it may be difficult to calculate actual comparative wages. The Sun-Times article indicates 57 people are discriminated against. What is the total number of journalists, editors, photojournalists that the paper employs? The article doesn’t tell us how many non-discriminated-against staff there are,and gives only slight indication of what their wages might be. In the old days, unsatisfied journalists had little alternative because they couldn’t afford the massive investment in presses, distribution, and other capital to start their own newspapers. Nowadays, the barriers are much less and it… Read more »
This should put the last nail required in the coffin for putting the paper into bankruptcy, so EVERYONE looses their job. (equally)
