As we all know, extraneous Ks were employed by southern businesses as a signal to segregationists that they shared goals. Thus, the Trib is probably just acting out of an abundance of caution.

Here, and I thought I’d missed a great story of the AFL-CIO rescinding their endorsement and the Trib failing to cover, only to find it was about a missing 0.00001 fluid oz. of newsprint.
Just making sure Rauner can claim Pritzker photoshopped it when he uses the headline in a commercial

This K-ontroversy made me think of the very underrated performance Eddie Murphy gives in Steve Martin’s BOWFINGER as a paranoid movie actor, who counts up all the K’s in his latest movie script and they are evenly divisible by 3 and a conspiracy theory is born… The movie is hilarious.
Everything they do is designed to help Rauner. Whether it’s blowing up property tax system (which is a mess) at a time when the Gov is hanging his hat on property taxes or misspelling Pritzker or using a overweight tuxedo picture of Pritzker. There are no coincidences or mistakes.
And if any of the other candidates emerge as a threat to Bruce they will get the same treatment. I know, I know I have a tinfoil hat but at some point we have to call it. The Trib has zero credibility and is stacking the deck.

No “Dewey Defeats Truman” — but pretty bad.
Bet they wouldn’t misspell Rauner

I’m awaiting a headline about “Governor Ruiner.” Any day now.

My Col. McCormick Tribune newspaper hat tells me typos happen often.
Odds are today, I’ll make quite a few typos.
I’m not a newspaper. So there’s that too…

Who’s this “Pritzer” fella? Never heard of him…
- Mr. K. - Wednesday, Jun 7, 17 @ 9:18 am:
If Rauner ever says his name — he won’t, but if he does — this is how he’ll say it.
Especially when he’s wearing Carhartt and standing in a downstate diner holding a plate of pancakes. He’ll drop the ‘G’ on purpose.

Kinda like the insistence by some on the right of calling it the Democrat Party.

I wonder if the union knows they backed this Pritzer guy? Somebody got some ’splainin’ to do.

I’m waiting for a commenter to blame it on Rauner and the media that he conTROLLs.

That missing ‘k’ stands out like a missing toilet.

Wanna bet that the newspaper that loves complaining about government incompetence doesn’t fire a single manager over this?

Dropping the “g’s” like someone else we all know.
Following their leader, I guess.

What’s going on with the graphic in the masthead?
You have the Hancock Building at dead center, with Sears Tower to the right, Trump Tower to the left and the lake in the foreground.
The troncloydytes are entitled to their own scatter-brained opinions, but not their own geography.

So what? The K wouldn’t fit. Would you rather we dropped the Z instead?
Sheesh.
- Levois - Wednesday, Jun 7, 17 @ 10:36 am:
Who is this Pritzer character? I know Pritzker is running for governor.
- @MisterJayEm - Wednesday, Jun 7, 17 @ 10:40 am:
Maybe this explains the extra “K” that the Trib adds to the name of their page two columnist.
