Yes, there is a link for online coverage, but for those of us who are still reading the hard copy newspaper, you would not have any idea of the severity of the situation. Nor would you know that our Illinois senators are two of only seven senators who did NOT vote to de-fund ACORN. I've seen the media really stretch to find a local connection to a national story -- and yet it goes unmentioned in this case. Where are the investigative journalists??? Has anybody visited the local ACORN office(s)? Has anybody asked how much money has gone to Illinois ACORN organizations? (I have asked and not received an answer from anyone to date.) You smelled a rat (or two) at U of I -- and went to work to seek the truth and root out corruption. ACORN's dealings are doing a tremendous disservice not only to taxpayers, but to the very communities that they are supposed to be serving! Wake up Trib -- get the story! -
Katie said it best- this is a weak attempt at saying you are covering this topic. Get the story- its RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU -

Inappropriate?Here's an idea: maybe the Tribune could cover more actual "news" than the shape of Michelle Obama's arms. Like the story which broke over the last few days about the ACORN office in Baltimore advising a pimp and hooker on how to evade taxes, buy a house illegally, and cover up the import of underaged girls to work as hookers. In case you haven't noticed, the same young undercover REPORTERS got the SAME advice from the Washington ACORN office TODAY. It's only mentioned on sites like HotAir and Michelle Malkin and a few others (and Glenn Beck's tv show), while the entire mainstream media avoids reporting on the obvious criminal enterprise taxpayers are funding. Maybe if the Tribune actually DID some reporting of value, the stock price would go up. People would begin to buy copies again. Just a thought.

Inappropriate?Why is the Tribune ignoring the story of ACORN employees in 3 cities advising on a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute how to get a loan to buy a house for their "business?" As best as I can tell, Fox is the only media outlet covering the story. Why?

Inappropriate?Can you please tell me where the reporting is on Acorn? What about the reporting on the Czars? Any wonder why your newspaper and others are failing? Could it be the media doesn't do their job? This paper and along with others has been in a love fest with this administration, and any tough questions needed to be asked, are not. You have failed the readers of this once great paper, so you deserve to fail.

Inappropriate?All,
Why don't you carry the story on the ACORN videos? A guy and a girl pose as a prostitute and her pimp and go into 6 different ACORN offices and ask for help setting up and buying a house to run a whore house with underage illegal children. In 4 of the 6 ACORN offices the employees help them break the law. The ACORN offices in Baltimore, Washington DC NYC and California enable them on how to cheat on taxes and how to buy the house to set up a whore house. This is all on BigGovernment.com, uncut with transcripts. This is all over the web and foreign press why don't you carry it?
ACORN receives government funds and is a strong force in the Obama administration. If they are involved in illegal activities that is news, please report it at least look into it.

Inappropriate?Newspapers across the country wonder why they are gradually going out of business. Perhaps it is because few believe them to be a trustworthy news source except for sports and the weather forecast. Chicago Tribune emabarressed themselves by campaigning hard for Obama last year. Now they barely cover huge stories like the Acorn scandal and the tea parites. I was once a loyal Tribune subscriber but have scaled back to Sundays only. Unless changes are made in reporting the news, the Trib will continue its decline of what once was a great newspaper.

I have to say that Mr. Kavanaugh hit the nail on the head about Tribune coverage of any story that deals with Obama's White House. As I see it, the Tribune is in league with all the major networks and newspapers in this country.I saw the Acorn story on page 13, 4 days after the story broke
on Fox News.Hay, if you want to hear about the braking news, keep an eye on Fox News. They didn't sell their soul to the Democrates & Obama.
I am a subscriber and have been for over 25 years but since I can no longer find the news syories that are happing right now, I see no point
in receiving the paper and besides that, the service is terrible. -
Inappropriate?Although both the Senate and House have voted to some extent to de-fund ACORN, both Illinois senators (Durbin & Burris) and at least to Representatives from the Chicago area (Davis & Jackson) voted to CONTINUE FUNDING FOR ACORN. Think you could find a story in that??????????????

Inappropriate?The Acorn story broke a week ago on Fox news. This is a huge story and you along with The New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Chicago Sun Times, ABC, CBS, and NBC to name a few were silent on this. Why? Is this further proof that you're left wing and bias? Maybe this is the reason I don't subscribe to you anymore

Tribune bias, perhaps?.
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Today's newsbusting headline? "New Book Details Obama Marriage"
WTH? Where's the Acorn coverage?! Why did my senators vote to continue funding? There should be something up there on the home page EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH AT A MINIMUM! Find SOMETHING, for heaven's sake.
When I go to the link provided by Trib employee Danielle Gordon, I get a lot of tepid, indirect coverage. What a crock.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Acorn coverage is the same place all the other news about any Obama backed organizations are covered up by MSM.. do what I do read Kass and all other news on line where the real facts are.. Tribune is just as bad as the the other newspapers for the dog to go on..
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?I guess this is where the declining subscription rates come from - unsatisfied readers. The Tribune has no idea how much it has alienated its readership by showing favoritism to the Obama White House and the many issues surrounding it. While this is a Chicago market, people still want to know the truth. When you fail to report the facts, that is the same thing as dishonesty!
I’m Unhappy with the Tribune
-
Can't believe what a bunch of brain dead Obama Droolers are running this paper.. Oh well I now read other papers on line and go to topix for commenting.. this paper is a joke.. -
Also having to sign in every time is a real downer.. -
I agree with Ms.Sarah about declining subscribers, I just cancelled my Tribune subscription ,after 25 years of reading this rag. The paper has gotten smaller and the cost has risen from $21.00 for 4 weeks to over $31.OO. It has become a real streach to find any news about, theWhite House, Czars, Acorn, or anything about the Obama that isn't fawning all over him.
Hay , I got something your readers may like to read about, Obama's relationship with George Soros, how Soros managed to fill Obama's
compaign with $300,000 through back door deals. Looks like Obama owes
Soros a big thankyou. -
Inappropriate?This Acorn group should be shut down completely and
they should paid back all of the millions of they stole to
the goverment. This group is the scum of this earth ! !
Obama/Acorn one in the same.

Inappropriate?Mr Axelrod ( Chief Whitehouse Correspondent )
I would like to bring to your attention the distrust that the American citizens of this great country have for Obama and his administration.
This man is a flat out liar and a threat to the very fabric of this nation.
He has aligned himself with Left Wing Socialist Liberals during his
campaign and continues to do the same.
Individuals such as Bill Ayers,Pastor Wright and the Acorn group are
the scum of this earth.This empty suit in the Whitehouse is bankrupting
American with his out of control spending and failed bills such as his Stimulus Plan,Cap and Trade and certainly this disgraceful Healthcare reform plan. I personally feel along with many of my friends and aquaintances,plus millions of Americans that this Barack Hussein Obama will never see the end of his term.
This email was also sent to the Washington Post,N.Y.Times,Chicago Tribune,MSNBC,FOX News,CNN,U.S Senator Charles Schumer,U.S Attorney General Eric Holder,the Black Action Network.the Corrupt Acorn Group and my local news media.

I feel that this uneducated,
big mouth, " Nappy Haired
Hoe " al sharpton best
focus on the violent crimes
his black low life brothers
are committing on the
streets of are cities and towns across this country.
Rather than worrying about
Don Imus or Rush Limbaugh.I personally fell along with millions of white
Americans that this phony black racist scumbag will end up the same way as that other black phony martin luther king !!

Inappropriate?Why do I have to watch FOX News to learn what is going on in the country that we all live in? While I do not agree entirely with their point of view on some subjects, they at least present a "fair and balanced" report. Or better put they report and you decide. What has happened to the Chicago Tribune? Your current style of reporting is more comparable to that of a tabloid.
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Acorn is a non story, of course. What is a story is the vast amount of money thrown to Halliburton, and all the other defense contractors who simply ran away with our treasury. Some of the previous administration became very wealthy from this greed. And deficit that resulted. Now that's a story.
