  4. Just got a one year subscription offer to #ChicagoTribune for $1. Let's see how it goes. It should help fill the gap from my canceled #Wapo sub.

  6. #ChicagoTribune Editorial Board: When you think that comparing the traffic issues in the city of Chicago (pop. +2.6M/232 sq mi)) to those of the country of Wales (pop. 3.1M/8K sq miles) is a winning argument, you might wanna lose the smug tone and find a more robust board.

    "The City Council might do well to look at what happened in Wales."

  7. #Newspapers Sue #OpenAI for #CopyrightInfringement and 'Fake News' Hallucinations
    Eight newspapers, including the New York Daily News, #ChicagoTribune and the #DenverPost, accuse the companies of training #ChatGPT models on their content without permission or compensation. In addition, ChatGPT allegedly harms the plaintiffs' reputations by linking them to #fakenews.

  8. CW: Long thread/21

    Chavis's #ChicagoTribune editorial claimed that Direct File could cause Black filers to miss out on tax-credits they are entitled to. This is a particularly ironic claim given Intuit's prominent role in sabotaging the #ChildTaxCredit, a program that lifted more Americans out of poverty than any other in history:

    It's also an argument that can be found in Intuit's own anti-Direct File blog posts:

  10. In Jan. 1945, MacArthur sent Roosevelt a memo saying Japanese wanted to negotiate surrender. The #ChicagoTribune only broke the story on its front page on August 7, 1945 (after #IwoJima, #Okinawa, #Hiroshima, #Nagasaki) because of their voluntary censorship.

    The terms of Japanese surrender in MacArthur's memo were almost identical to those eventually negotiated in August. The memo was ignored.

    Do not believe the lies that the US had to drop atomic bombs on Japan for any reason. They didn't.

  11. First, while this is about a state-level program, it's malpractice not to mention that #ChiMayor23 candidate Paul Vallas has long talked about a Chicago witness protection program, including in this recent Op-Ed in the very same #ChicagoTribune: chicagotribune.com/opinion/com

  12. @anildash Same question for #Chicago folks, including the #ChicagoTribune editorial board, which also went hard for the fraudulent Foxconn facility that wound up in Wisconsin.

  13. Washington:

    "A new, nonpartisan poll ... pegged the 2023 mayoral campaign as a tight, four-way race among incumbent Lori Lightfoot, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, U.S. Rep. Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia and businessman Willie Wilson."

    Methodology unclear. Poll also two weeks old. Undecideds at 20%.

  14. The #ChicagoTribune quotes UIC professor emeritus and local good-government go-to source Dick Simpson without disclosing that Simpson has endorsed the mayor's re-election bid and contributed $15,000 to her campaign.

    I got the total from the Trib's own "search contributions" function.
