On her blog, the Chicago Sun-Times Lynn Sweet says the Clintonistas might be doing just that:
Starting an unusual series of heated exchanges between the two front-running presidential campaigns was a three paragraph item in Novak’s Sunday Chicago Sun-Times column that says “agents of Sen. Hillary Clinton are spreading the word in Democratic circles that [...]

Not only is Chicago Sun-Times owner Conrad Black innocent of all racketeering and fraud charged, he’s a freedom fighter and will refuse any offer of a plea bargain.
Translation: I still have enough money hidden away in foreign accounts to buy my way out of this mess.

It’s Tom Roeser, the Chicago Sun-Times columnist who seems to have such a crush on Aaron Schock.

Conrad Black — who wished to be called “Lord Black” after he bought a title — has close to being indicted. He and his cronies financially raped the publicly held company that published the Chicago Sun-Times. And now he is one step closer to being punished for it, now that his right hand man is [...]

I think the Sun-Times’ Tom Roesser either has a crush on State Rep. Aaron Schock or wants to adopt him. Either way, I’m embarassed for the Sun-Times.

Rich Miller links to a Sun Times article that says Congressman Ray LaHood is holding off on an official announcement for the governor’s race because Jim Edgar told him that he might decide to run for run for governor again.

“This is not about going to war with anybody except the politically corrupt Chicago guys who think the state of Illinois is nothing but an opportunity for them to [...]

I’m running headlines from the Chicago Sun Times on my siderail. I’m certainly not hand-coding those links. I’m using the ST’s newsfeed. In layman’s terms, it’s part of a news-oriented Web site or blog that shows readers only the headlines and articles, not the other drivel like banners and graphics.
These feeds can be tweaked so [...]

As promised, here is my fisking of Tom Roeser’s column
in the Chicago Sun-Times about Aaron Schock.

For the uninitiated, the Mirage refers to the legendary undercover project of the Chicago Sun-Times. The newspaper essentially bought a bar, staffed it with reporters and secretly photographed the people who came in and left. They found what they assumed they would: a parade of government workers — fire and safety inspectors, liquor inspectors, police [...]

The Chicago Sun-Times‘ bias against former Chicago Tribune columnist Bob Greene is showing. In a remarkable story, on Saturday, reporter Scott Fornek quizzes the local branch of the FBI on its investigation of the woman with whom Greene had a sexual encounter 10 years ago. The second paragraph of the story states:
A spokesman for the [...]
