Politics: Is Clinton trying to ’swiftboat’ Obama?

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...

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. Conrad Black,Sun-Times

August 21, 2005
By Billy Dennis

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...

Aaron, Sun-Times must be blushing, but for different reasons

August 15, 2005
By Billy Dennis

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. They’ve got a political columnist whose idea of political punditry is writing stuff that could run unedited on GOP campaign literature. Or the party Website. Aaron Schock,Tom Roeser,peoria,Sun...

Psst! Hey buddy? Got any newsfeeds to spare?

August 3, 2005
By Billy Dennis

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...

Chicago Reader disses Mirage

October 4, 2002
By Billy Dennis

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.

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...
