I'm wondering if others thought the Thursday editorial in the Tribune soft-pedaled D-65's problems, and didn't express the lack of confidence in the current board that many, many people have expressed.

It was clear the writers didn’t understand the history. And it inferred - problem solved! All good! And, by the way, CPS, take note. The idea that D65 would serve as an example for CPS is laughable. Very disappointing.

The Trib is a sad sack these days. The beat reporter for political D65 issues is .. the local high school football guy.

The writer is listed as “Editorial Board.”

(For the Chicago Tribune Article.)

Is that standard? Wondering if it could be a friend of a friend of a friend to help make the dire financial situation look better?

Regular editorials are not signed by an individual writer. They're supposed to represent the voice of the newspaper, and are done in-house. Op-ed articles, which run in that general section, are always signed by the writer and are always written by a non-staffer. The Tribune's editorial page editor, Chris Jones, is an excellent writer. I hope he's not the writer behind that simplistic editorial.

I wrote a response to the “editorial board”. So irritated. First a “Miracles Anti-Racist” now “Truth Teller”. Could you imagine the label for Goren or Murphy?
