Chicago Trib vs NYT

Interesting comparison between the Chicago Tribune (Trib) and the New York Times (NYT). The Trib used to be wholly isolationist in the FDR and the post WW II era plus Republican while the NYT seems completely pro globalist, WEF and open borders while being a Democratic Party organ. Seeming diametrically opposites.

Additionally Colonel Robert McCormick completely viscerally hated FDR and the New Deal. Meanwhile the NYT seemingly hates Donald Trump and MAGA. Ask Senator Tom Cotton how the NYT feels about conservatives. They both filtered the news to meet their preconceived viewpoints and omitted those that did not to make sure they keep their subscribers' echo chamber alive - just 70-years apart.

The Trib called itself The World's Greatest Newspaper while the NYT's slogan is All the News Fit to Print. Arguably neither was ever true. The more things change - the more they stay the same.
