Audio and summary
This is a bit like buying a deck chair on the Titanic with that sinking ship’s stern pointing at the stars.
The Daily Herald was already grandfathered into the fetid, stinking cauldron that is the Useless Chicago Media and mainly regurgitates the same DNC talking points as the Trib. Like the Trib, we can expect no actual journalism from them with their coverage designed to appeal to north suburban AWFLs, most of whom lack critical thinking capabilities and don’t buy newspapers.
So much for the Trib pleading poverty as they tug on our sleeves for a handout to read their biased , sophomoric attempt at journalism.
