An oops on so many levels
Wednesday, Jun 15, 2022 - Posted by Rich Miller * Tribune headline…  Except, when you read the editorial, they actually endorsed Javier Yanez over Sen. Celina Villanueva and Lamont Williams over Willie Preston. The paper has since updated its online headline to reflect the Yanez endorsement, but not the Williams endorsement…  Considering that Preston was caught falsely claiming the endorsement of Jesse White, I gotta wonder if he’ll use that headline as well. /s * Also, get a load of this…
Villanueva is a mainstream machine Democrat? And Yanez is a moderate? Man, did they ever get snowed. Maybe that comes from not doing any actual legislative candidate interviews.

This is why I haven’t purchased any Chicago newspaper in over 5 years.

Dewey wins.

To be (a bit) fair, the corporate takeovers of newspapers resulted in cutting a lot of positions, including editors who would have been expected to catch these type of lazy errors.
But yes, a very bad look for the Trib.

FOP can’t be happy with the Martwick endorsement…bad day for Catanzara.

And this is why newsrooms need their local copy editors. Guarantee this headline was written out of state by folks who know nothing about Illinois.

The Tribune also praised Ald. Sigcho Lopez as even tempered with pro-business tendencies.

But at least the Trib still does candidate endorsements, no matter how bad they are. Unlike a certain once-great paper in Springfield.

Tribbie f.u. consistent with recent efforts…except the decision to go thumbs down on Mr. EmptySuit (aka Darin LaHood–son of Confessed Congressman). That was pure genius.

With an ill-informed (at best) endorsement like that, what good are they?

Yanez is not supported by Pilsen natives, regardless what the clueless Alderman says.
Villanueva is the preferred candidate and I may cancel my tribe subscription.

Everything I’ve heard is that the Yañez campaign is dead in the water. No mailers, little door-knocking, so great job Tribune— bullseye. And since when is Chuy Garcia considered the “mainstream machine”? The guy that fought the true machine HDO? What bizarro world are we living in??
