Being wrong about Harris doesn't automatically mean they can't be right about something else!

This same paper endorsed Obama for president, in a move that was an earth-shaking departure for them. I remember well how shocking (in the bext possible sense of the word) and thrilling that was, because the Trib almost always endorsed the GOP candidate as a matter of course.

I used to read the Chicago Tribune regularly, back when I was commuting to downtown Chicago by train every day, and found it to lean conservative, but not in an extreme or unfair way. Along with conservative columnists, the editorial section also ran liberal columnists like Molly Ivins and Eugene Robinson. They also had great feature articles and some outstanding investigative journalism.

I haven't been a regular reader of the Trib in years, but that was my experience with it in the past, for what it's worth.
