Violence in Big Cities Makes Democrats Look Bad

So of course the media can't have that. Chicago's Worst in Media 2021 | Chicago Contrarian

Chicago media has basically refused to cover any story that didn't make Progressives look great.

Though media generally declined to cover matters which conflicted with their political inclinations — it is rare when Chicago media figures find anything amiss in Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago or Kim Foxx’s Cook County — Crain’s lowered the bar further with A.D. Quig’s obsequiousness in front of Cook County’s comically incompetent prosecutor, Kim Foxx. A most-fawning interviewer, instead of a come-clean interview with serious questions, what Quig furnished Chicago was a 45-minute schmooze. Hardly a surprise, from Crain’s you are more than likely to read about a local billionaire selling their Lake Forest mansion than about business conducted in Chicago.

Public radio concentrated on Global Warming and police reform, and all but ignored crime. The Sun Times actually had a piece about police arresting "all the wrong people." There was some hope; Eric Zorn left the Tribune.

Fueled by the conviction it was his job to educate “We the Stupid,” Zorn devoted an entire column in March to discuss the importance of the Chicago City Council weighing a change to the title of “alderman” to “alderperson.” Hardly a vital critique for a city overwhelmed by crime, citizens racked with anxiety, and suffering under bungling leadership, Zorn tackling the matter only helped elevate a meaningless issue to an undeserved place in Chicago’s political discourse to virtue signal.

Here's a video from a Chicago commentator, Ruined Leon: Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Finally Realized When Cops Are Gone Crime Goes Up. He usually makes me laugh, and he usually has a point. Though I blame the State's Attorney for the lawlessness as much or more than Lightfoot.
