Chgo Sun-Times: Mean Scrooge a Republican, Nice Scrooge a Liberal
December 25th, 2007 11:21 AM
Never has so few words been so wrong until the the Christmas Day Chicago Sun-Times Daily Rant came along. Not only does it unreasonably call the mean, pre-ghosted version of the Scrooge character a "traditional, conservative Republican" but it then goes on to swerve to the opposite -- and equally wrong -- conclusion that the post-ghostie Scrooge is a "bleeding-heart liberal." In truth BOTH claims…
Did Chicago Sun-Times Endanger a U.S. Soldier's Life Just for a 'Scoop

Long-time gossip columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, Michael Sneed, was one of the first to announce that the son of Chicago's Mayor Daley volunteered as a private in the U.S. Army in 2004 after successfully attaining his MBA from the University of Chicago.

Chicago Sun-Times: Turning Big Dem Contributor into 'Staunch Republica
July 17th, 2007 2:10 AM
Why is it that every time the MSM writes a story about a supposedly "staunch Republican" who is vocally supporting the opposing Party, we have to wonder of its veracity?

And in this case, the Chicago Sun-Times story titled "GOP lawyer sold on…
