Chicago Tribune's Obama endorsement: It's about keeping subscribers
In that endorsement, the Trib didn't even mention Obama's first political sponsor, jailbird Antoin "Tony" Rezko, even though the Tribune broke the story of the Rezko-Obama property deal that allowed the newly sworn-in senator to buy his mansion in 2005.
According to the New York Times, another newspaper company that is enduring economic troubles, the Tribune Company has hired a firm that so it stave off a bankruptcy filing.
The Tribune also owns the Los Angeles Times, a very liberal newspaper. I wonder how much revenue the Times would have gathered if it has posted the Rashid Khalidi videotape? Liberal beliefs overrides business Acumen. after all, why did CBS keep Dan Rather as an anchor year after year, despite his last place ratings?
In October, I was fortunate to be invited to appear on Milt Rosenberg's WGN Radio show--a Tribune Company station--and I was overwhelmed by the realization, when I walked into the Tribune Tower, that I had just entered an historic building. What occurred within those walls has had a profound influence on Chicago, America, and the world.
In fact, history is still being made inside the Tribune Tower.
By the way, an early subscriber to the Tribune was a country lawyer from Springfield who later became president.
UPDATE: December 8. Yes, the New York Times is definitely having problems.
