Countdown Accelerates
No longer a newspaper, but a full scale propaganda rag:
For more than 75 years, the Sun-Times Editorial Board has been an important voice in Chicago, advocating for the well-being of our city, holding the powerful to account and helping readers understand and navigate the complexities of the news.
[...] As a nonprofit media company, this is an important opportunity for the people of Chicago to become the voice of Chicago. Beginning today, the Sun-Times will no longer offer editorials — pieces expressing a stance on news topics, written by our editorial board.
When the Chicago Sun-Times was acquired by Chicago Public Media, our new status as a nonprofit meant the editorial board could no longer make candidate endorsements, a major change to what is traditionally considered a core function of editorial boards. Editorials are traditionally unsigned, and when trust in journalism is so precarious, we believe it is essential for our readers to understand exactly who is speaking to them.
To that end, we will continue to publish Letters to the Editor, which we receive in abundance every week and run in print and online. We will also continue to publish op-eds and guest columns from community members, leaders and scholars.
It's pretty much been either a dead fish wrapper or a bird cage liner for decades now.
But paying $2 for a sudoku puzzle you can find for free on the internet and twenty pages of crap written by either the AP, the Washington Post, A.I. or some lib-tarded journalism major who minored in basket weaving?
It's only a matter of time now.

The Sun-what?
Once again . . Starve to death cocksuckers !!
Now they want 5 on Sunday, I picked it up, and dropped it.
They got rid of liberal writers.
But still have that Lynn.
She used to talk politics, now she consistently complains about Trump.
I do care about her opinion, or the papers.
I'm paying for news.
IT'S A NEWSPAPER!
They still ask for donations online
LOL! The editorial board rain cover for crooked democratic politicians.
What’s the difference? The stories have all been editorialized for the last twenty years.
good riddance
Fuck them....Learn to code.
After yesterday’s headline, I predict closure by end of July 2025
Good riddance
This thing costs $2 a day? I can spend that on a Weekend getaway once a year
Since the majority of CPS students can barely read at a third grade level any printed media without pictures and one syllable words is doomed.
This is what happens when the news industry goes woke and stop reporting unbiased and accurate news and true old school journalism. Over time people stop buying papers and turn off news stations. Your seeing it all over as big news papers are folding and TV stations with rating lower than your kids cartoon stations.
Backed by public money and there is a fucking paywall? Die already.
How many PBS on air stations can be pulled in by Chicagoans?
That fucker needs to be bullDOGEd too and stations sold.
It didn't start our as a nonprofit but it is one now.
Typo, i do not want opinions, I want news.
I’m sure that all letters and voices of Chicagoans will be censorsed or rewritten to fit the Slum Times narrative.
Fuck them and fuck them all..
Who was the person who came up with the bright idea to take a major daily newspaper and let go all of the conservative or centrist writers and Jounalists and staff the paper with left wing marxist activist writers ? Now that was a plan for success !
They sure helped root out extremism on CPD! One of the owth keeper cops retired!
A non profit you say? Thats exactly what they have become financially! I'd rather buy a lottery ticket for 2 dollars a day. Mike Royko is rolling over as I read this...
Wouldn’t be surprised if Scum-Times received taxpayer money through USAID. That would explain them circling the toilet bowl for so long before finally appearing to going down, now that Musk has uncovered the gigantic money laundering scam perpetrated upon the taxpayers by politicians to push the leftist globalist agenda.
Deepstate Astroturf, there is no movement by the people for their agenda.
But they aren’t going to go gently into that good night. Expect to see things get crazy real soon.
A couple years ago the carpenters and operator's bought in for a couple million. Why we asked ? So labor in Chicago would have a voice lol. We've always had a voice without wasting our money on obsolete forms of propaganda. The labor leaders and politicians are all in the same bed, just roll over and whisper in porky ear, MO money please .
Today's journalists do not deserve to be called muck-raking, First Amendment advocates. They are bottom-feeding remora who make a profit off of other people's miseries. They sell entertainment and pander to the political whims of paternalistic people who think they are superior to everyone else.
Wow. Well said
As Mike Royko once said many years ago, no self-respecting fish would be wrapped in the Sun-Times. Birds refuse to use it for cage liner. Bums won’t use it to stuff the holes in their shoes. The only purpose it serves is to parrot the views of elderly North Side liberals.
Not the same without Mary Mitchell's informative column !!!
I’m 65 and went to Catholic grade school. I remember a nun telling us the SunTimes was written at a 4th grade level. Seriously. That was in the early 70s.
