The Chicago Sun-times is without a doubt the best paper in the city of Chicago. This says a lot about the writing as well as the simple fact it is easier to read and carry around with you because of its tabloid format. It opens more like a magazine which just makes it easier to read whether you are on the train, in a cab or sitting in the lunchroom. The sports is the best thing in this paper. Thankfully, this paper is not the Cubune and offers some fair and balanced reporting on the two sports teams in this town. The Tribune can hardly be called fair considering it OWNS the Chicago Cubs. I was suprised to find the Tribune put the Sox winning the World Series on the front page. I had always figured if that happened the Trib would put something about the Cubs latest blunder on the front page and bury the Sox story somewhere near the Classifieds. The Sun-Times has the best columnists in the city. Neil Steinberg, Jay Mariotti, Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper are all my favorites. Their editorial pages are the ones I actually ready and enjoy. Between the two papers in Chicago, the Sun-Times is the way to go, handsd down.

The Chicago Sun Times is defnitely not my favorite newspaper in Chicago. I think their articles are just mediocre and their paper is actually a lot smaller than say the Chicago Tribune. It does have a good entertainment section though. The movie reviews are usually pretty good. But I would rather spend my money on the Chicago Tribune. I save this one for my online reading!

If I buy it sometimes at a newstand it means I guess I like this hugely popular newspaper. Yes, it's good for lining your bird's cage with, but I actually read it once in a while. I get a big kick out of Roeper's writing, I have been reading Ebert's movie reviews for years. I try to catch them on TV also but I usually forget. Maybe now that I wrote this review I will catch their show more often. Jimmy DeRogatis is Ok sometimes to read and is very opinionated and not afraid of controversy. This paper is one of the most sold in the whole country.Their news and sports coverage is decent enough I guess but would never satisfy the faithful watcher of say CNN.
