Sun-Times slanders Braun to promote pals of its questionable business wners

Chicago Sun-Times pit bull poodle Carol Marin is assaulting Carol Moseley Braun. Marin alleges falsely that Braun's campaign for mayor failed to disclose more than $300,000 in spending. That's not true but anything Marin writes is published in the Sun-Times regardless of backup facts.

To make it worse, Marin accused Braun of throwing her elderly campaign worker "under the bus" in order to make Braun look even worse.

Braun simply said that one of her aides was putting the documentation together and may not have recorded everything. That's a far cry from stealing or fiscal mismanagement or violating state laws.

Why is Marin attacking Braun? Because Marin was a backer and supporter of first Gery Chico, but when it looked like Chico was losing to Rahm Emanuel, she was ordered by the newspaper owners (yes, the newspaper is owned by Chicago businessmen and a few mobsters and sultry characters) to switch to Emanuel. And she did.

The people of Chicago are not getting the straight story from the Sun-Times and the Sun-Times is not being fair or ethical. The newspaper has hired 18 people who are related to owners of the Sun-Times, while firing 400 union workers to break the union. They gave the newspaper to the Chicago Tribune to print, which basically means it is the Chicago Tribune that owns the Sun-Times.

Union-busting has always been one of the Sun-Times goals to profit from the dying newspaper.

It's a shame that the Chicago Sun-Times is so pathetic today. Although it "won" a Pulitzer -- it's first ina  long time, it came at the cost of hundreds of families, employee wages and a major part of the newspaper's collapsing ethics.

Boycott the Chicago Sun-Times and tell them you do not support the robber barons who now own it and are destroying it.

The reporters who work there agree but they are afraid to speak up, The Sun-Times union has been gutted by management and pressures from the business cronies and investors who are using the Sun-Times to elect their pals, profit for their businesses and strike out at their foes.

Tragic.
