I have noticed that the newspapers often leave off the salient last paragraph so that the real facts are never known by the average reader — AAARRRGGGHHH!).
The Sun-Times can’t die soon enough to suit me. Their whole premise of being the voice of the Left should condemn them in the eyes of any rational reader.
