"Another Chicago newspaper will be shrinking soon; this time it's the Chicago Tribune. Two weeks ago, Tribune Publishing, which is owned by Alden Global Capital, a hedge fund firm, notified the paper's union, the Chicago Tribune Guild, that buyout offers for Tribune employees were on the table for staffers. If this sounds familiar, just three months ago, 30 employees, — 20 percent of its workforce — accepted buyouts from the Chicago Sun-Times."
The Trib will become a business school case study on going woke and broke. Looks like I’m gonna have to buy printer paper for my parakeet cage!

Shouldn’t be surprising to anyone. The Tribune is no longer anything anyone wants pay for or read. They seem to carry water for the liberals and do little investigative reporting, beyond parroting what they are told at a press briefing. Who wants to pay for that? It is sad, society needs a press that is willing to ask questions and inform the public.
Hopefully, the days of stilted, left leaning media outlets supposedly being unbiased but actually anything but are drawing to a close. Maybe they are only shifting their tactics, as in Soros’ purchasing a 200 + station radio network with no opposition from Joe’s FCC, but it’s heartening to see reasonable people rejecting rags like the Trib and Sun- Times and tuning NPR out.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
