Just when I thought that Chicago's worst excuse for a newspaper couldn't possibly do anything else to disgrace themselves, they manage to disgust me to the point of no return. You'd think that the Sun Times would deal with the embarrassment of having to lay off a huge chunk of their newsroom quietly. Nope. Instead, the paper continues to brag on every single front page: "Still Only 50 Cents!" Nice, Sun Times, that's real stand-up of you. Maybe if you just went ahead and raised your prices like the other newspaper in town that you seem to despise so much, you wouldn't have had to disrupt and derail the careers of so many decent reporters and editors. Or perhaps you are concerned that no one would pay more than two quarters to read the drivel you print everyday and call news. Well, here's another idea: How about you can that Mariotti fellow? I'm sure he's eating up a lot of salary. And certainly the removal of a stale shock-jock sports writer can only improve what little integrity your pulp newspaper may still cling to.
