News Flash! Our Dirty Water is Wet!

So the Chicago Sun Times will no longer endorse candidates. Sounds great. Of course, they lead with the fact that they were founded as a product of a "bygone era" where evil Republicans had their own newspapers, and our Glorious Founder just had to counter that. Historical filler, we're above that now, Faux News!, our own new tone, we will publish the views of local groups we agree with support Democrats,then they get to the truly LOLworthy part:

[Candidate endorsements] promote the perception of a hidden bias by a newspaper......

No, reading the insipid bird cage liner promotes the perception of bias. Where is this hidden crap? All it takes is a round of Spot the Party to find the bias. At least when they endorse a candidate, the bias is open and above board. Disingenuous hacks must not have gotten any stimulus money this election cycle. And then the kicker: We are going to focus on local issues this year. Translation: too much focus on national issues might make you want to vote against The One, who we reflexively can't go against.
