I'm shocked that there is even a HINT of media bias. Chicago Contrarian: Did Prosecutor’s Exit from CCSAO Expose Secret Handshake between Kim Foxx, Chicago Media?
The resignation of Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy from the chaotic Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office (CCSAO) not only loudly expressed a simmering rage with State’s Attorney Kim Foxx among prosecutors, but it also pulled back the curtain on Foxx’s relationship with the Chicago media, particularly the Chicago Tribune.
This suspicious relationship between Foxx and her media enablers goes a long way in explaining why Soros-backed prosecutors like Foxx are being besieged with criticism and dislodged from office in other cities, while Foxx remains protected from such attacks in Chicago.
I'm old enough to remember when the Chicago Tribune was the (somewhat) conservative paper in Chicago. I'm also old enough to remember when that stopped being the case.
While Murphy’s letter erodes the legitimacy of Crepeau and the Tribune’s third-rate journalism, it provokes interest in and bolsters the coverage by emerging alternate voices. The independent, alternate media in Chicago has steadily covered the collapse of Foxx’s office, including growing media outlets CWB Chicago and the Chicago Contrarian. Each day, for example, CWB Chicago publishes an assortment of articles covering Ms. Foxx’s refusal to charge or reduce charges against an offender. Often, the charges are dropped or reduced to misdemeanors. Repeat offenders frequently benefit from Foxx's leniency.
So there is a bit of self-serving from Chicago Contrarian, but it is completely right. The "legitimate" media in Chicago is in the bag for Foxx and her soft-on-crime policies.
But then the Chicago media is also in the bag for Mayor Groot.
