Another Chicago-Based First in the 2008 Election
The Chicago Tribune endorsed the Democrat.
The Tribune itself is highly impressed by this fact, and would earn a number 3 (25%-50%) for Question 34 in the study I’m working on: ‘Percentage of story content devoted to metacoverage’.
The four long paragraphs outline the history of Tribune presidential endorsements. They note the paper’s devotion to abolition and smaller government, as well as its deep, abiding admiration for the Chicago Tribune.
The Ed Board writes eloquently of Senator Obama, though their prose is somewhat marred by the graphic running with the article:
Other questions they considered included:
- Do you consider us still relevant?
- Like, totes relevant?
- Is our lame redesign causing you to consider canceling your subscription?
- If you are thinking about it, can you please not do that?
Anyway, despite a long series of bad endorsements (Dole ‘96!), nice to see the hometown paper coming on board.
