As Seen on Patch 

It's been a week since the Chicago Sun-Times debuted its new, feistier, sensationalistic tabloid style. . So far, the results show a majority disapproval. Here's what some of you had to say in the comment section:

  • : "Looks more and more like The Enquirer every day! If it wasn't for the patternless crossword I would switch to the Trib."
  • : "I am just hoping this is a transition for the Sun-Times. The worst was the Kim and Kayne cover story. The columnists need to be spread out more and the horoscopes need to go in the back - and yes I read them everyday for fun."
  • : "I'll pass. I'm not into celebrities and I'm not into tabloids. Are they trying to score the US Weekly crowd as new subscribers? It might work. If you spend money on a mag like US Weekly...you'll spend money on darn near anything. LOL"
  • : "The new "look" of the Sun-Times does not impress me. Like Anita, I immediately felt that it looked even more like a supermarket "rag." I do look forward to reading columnists Steinberg, Washington, Fountain, and Marin -- as well as Roeper and theater critic Weiss. So unfortunate that these quality writers have to appear in such a publication ..."
  • : "I don't like the tabloid format ..."
