I'm not a web page critic and don't give two craps about any of their designs as long as they're half way usable which both Chicago papers have more or less been throughout their tenure in these intertubes. My concern is lack of content and how quickly I can scan through both the Trib and the Sun Times and see absolutely nothing to click through on -- except for those cute girls who keep staring back at me so seductively... Really. If the Trib wants to charge for content they need to produce some first. Now that I think of it, most of the time I click through an article only to read what the mouthbreathers have to drool about in the comment section -- much like watching the Jerry Springer show. Now I can't even read those -- even if I pay for a god damned subscription because they require a Facebook account.
