I live in Chicago so I wanted to see what the hyper-partisan conservative site was for my area. Turns out its the Cook County Record[1]. I obviously haven't done an in depth analysis but it looks conservative in its selection of topics but not "hyper" conservative in that its making aggressive, conservative arguments within the body of the piece. It seems like honest reporting with a right-leaning topic selection.

Personally, I wouldn't read it but its no different (and maybe slightly more civil in its content) than the news I see in my Apple news feed from NBC or the Chicago Tribune.

The article seems to state that the sites it lists have specific financial ties to politicians and PACs; civility of writing doesn't seem to be a criterion.
