Chicago Tribune theater critic Chris Jones named editorial page editor – Robert Feder

"The unorthodox move...comes amid staff upheaval following the exodus of more than 40 journalists who accepted buyouts from the Tribune’s new owners, New York-based hedge fund Alden Global Capital. As editorial page editor, Jones succeeds Kristen McQueary, who resigned after she was turned down for a buyout."

Well, appropriate for Trib Editor to be theatre critic, because that’s what Chicago’s become: street theatre farce.

Was wondering what was happening to McCreary; so now I know. Wow, didn’t even get a buy-out, and she was last legit conservative political editorial writer there. I don’t count Kass, he was more of a “local color” editorial writer.

Let them all put the plastic baggie on their right hand and pick up my canine’s excrement off my $hitlib’s neighbor’s lawn. Better yet, I’ll tell Zorn and McCreary to just leave it there right next to the Hate Has No Home sign in the yard.

I ran into some neighbor the other block over with one of those “love is love” signs in their yard. I didn’t know the guy but I said, “Hey S$hitlib, nice sign!” I walked away before I could see the befuddled look on his face.
