Another Slum Times "Error"
The other day, we wrote about the Slum Times attributing nine shooting deaths and one stabbing death to being "police related." We poked fun at them and CWB picked up on it, asking for explanations.
The Slum Times blamed a programming bug and said they had corrected it. Their "Homicide Tracker" site notes the corrections and also blames it on a programming "bug." An editor also appeared in our comment section, thanking us for discovering the error and noting they had corrected the issue:
Thank you for flagging this problem with the Sun-Times violence tracker. Due to a bug in the tracker, some homicides were incorrectly described as having police involvement. The bug was fixed this morning. — Ari Soglin, Interim managing editor-news

Hooray for accountability, right?
Not so fast - it seems this "error" appears other times, at least once that CWB discovered and tipped us off to. Here's one from October of 2025 (click for larger version):
First thing you should notice is TWO separate guys named Oman Cobbs, 48, appear to have been murdered on the same day. The second one is listed as a "police shooting." If you click on the link, you find this story:
The October death of a 48-year-old man found in a suitcase on the Southwest Side was shot to death in a homicide, officials said.
Around 11:55 a.m. on Oct. 17, officers responded to the 3300 block of South Kedzie Avenue near the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago police said.
There, officers located a green suitcase and inside it found a “badly decomposed” body of Omar S. Cobbs, according to police reports and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
So the Slum Times summary is that not only are Chicago Police killing individuals across the city, afterwards they're stuffing them into suitcases? We must have missed that lesson back in our training days and we don't recall anything like this in the e-learning modules before we retired. Is this a Consent Decree thing?
We'd hate to think the media was so incompetent at their jobs (and their editors so ignorant as to what was being published) that this happened regularly. Oh wait, we already think that and - once again - this proves it.

Geez.. WHY would anyone pay money to read this garbage.
Are these the same type of programming bugs that infect voting machines? Juss axinn.
Suntimes needs to be sued and put out of business.
All I care about is money

Curses Midway Airport!
I think this may have been in an elearning module. I think if I remember correctly it was a 90 minute module and I think it was the 25th test of the year it may have been question # 7 … city told me I was trained but I can’t remember it’s been so many
that bug and programming did exactly what the liberal programmers told them to do
Just 9 counties accounted for TWO-THIRDS of violent confrontations with ICE in America.
This is twice all violent confrontations in the remaining 3,134 counties COMBINED.
The major cities in these top 9 counties are well-known:
Chicago is at the top, with Brandon Johnson as mayor.

Now more than ever, the media is the enemy of the people.
Biased incompetent and lazy.
But lets just blame AI.
Perfect example of new era non journalism.
I had a dog named Ari once.
Where are you going to Stuff a Stiff? In a green suitcase of course!
A few years back, when this tracker was in a different format, they had an age range of the victims. It showed a range of zero to 121. I scrolled through the list and found some guy listed as 121 years old. So this is nothing new for the site.
C’mon man- the persons running the Slum Times are all CPS graduates. What do you expect? Can’t read, can’t write, can’t do math to know they are virtually bankrupt…..and are on the way out.
I say forget about the Sun Times. We need to focus on what is really important. Such things as does anyone know how much the city really owes us for the VRI money? Does anyone know when we are really going to get the back pay? Have there been any negotiations on letting us retire with medical at 29 years of service even if we’re not 55 years old? Don’t let the small stuff distract you from the important stuff.
The very definition of savage baggage handlers
Freudian slip. Make no mistake. That’s what they want to push their agenda
There is a trend on YOUTUBE for AI generated stories. They tend to repeat themselves if you listen to the whole thing and are not known for their accuracy. Just clickbait to generate some easy lazy revenue.
Who is subscribing to this overpriced four page piece of garbage?

These are not journalists acting as the 4th Estate with Freedom of the press protections. They are propagandists and provacateurs.

They're owned by WBEZ. Hold their feet to the fire. The Sun-Times hacks are probably trying to hide this from their bosses. They won't correct anything.
Programming bullshit!! Editors main focus and job is to read and ensure that the reporting is correct and free from errors.
But, nothing will happen because they printed a retraction
How cool is this!!??? SCC calls out the ScumTimes and CWB takes it even further!
Probably the lefty-loonies will accuse SCC and CWB of collusion, whilst ignoring the crap from the ScumTimes NewsRoom- er, I mean LiesRoom.
Keep fighting the good fight! The Truth Will Win!
There’s some very bad news regarding US Airlines and their dangerous DEI programs…https://revolver.news/2026/01/theres-some-very-bad-news-regarding-us-airlines-and-their-dangerous-dei-programs/
Once again, the Slum Times gets it wrong. It appears more and more the Slum Times is a repeating bowl movement of false, misleading or incorrect information. The media "Outhouse", AKA the Slum Times consistently and continually evacuates fecal material disguised news. Reporters, proofers, alleged Managing Editors and the infamous Clown Show pretending to be the Editorial Board, all vigorously contributing to the poor quality of published news reporting and opinions lead to the loss of public trust.
On the other hand, the Times does provide low information voters, liberals and Democrat Socialists the drivel it expects and deserves. Someone please tell the Times that their disgusting, dirty and smelly fat ass is showing again.
OT - TDS spreading more by the day.
Look at this.
New York county exec blasts Gov Hochul for rejecting federal storm aid over ICE enforcement concerns
Nassau County's Bruce Blakeman calls governor's move 'foolish' as snow and freezing rain create dangerous conditions
Hochul wrote on X Saturday that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had offered federal assistance to New York ahead of the major winter blitz, noting:
"I shared that the fastest way to help is for ICE to back off so people feel safe accessing warming centers, shelters, hospitals, and houses of worship."
Blakeman criticized the move as "irresponsible" shortly after, insisting the government should be focused on "public safety, not partisan rhetoric."

Scum-Times must use the same company that made the Dominion voting machines.
See what happens when Slum Times reporters try to learn to program
100%!
Nobody that's who.
Error my ass!!!
As the banner on the Suntimes web edition says "Everyone deserves trustworthy local reporting." I think Miss Cleo is more trustworthy then the MSM today.
No Dude. You have to stay till 55. Stop it already. The medical should only be provided FREE at 60. Stop the 55 and out. Too much intellectual capacity for the dept retires at 55.
Institute the drop program for 60 and over only.
I don’t think ANYONE reads the sun times or tribune anymore.
the biggest error with the slum times is someone actually buying one
