CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Candidates claim Speaker Madigan trying ‘to buy control’ of next Aurora mayor – Steve Lord  (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, Democrats want your next mayor to promote dependency on government, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, age discrimination, pot, booze, gambling, and other vices, abolition of the Second Amendment, and even worse things.  Of course, needless-to-say, Democrats want your next mayor to focus on getting rid of those who are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Think carefully before tapping retirement funds for college – Jill Schlesinger  (DIERSEN: When you were young, did your parents have a retirement fund?  My outstanding parents did not.  My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, never attended college, worked in the office of a chemical plant, worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line Chevy with almost no options.  My mother never attended high school and was a homemaker.)

DAILY HERALD
— KERRY LESTER: Breuder requests docs  Lawyers for ousted College of DuPage President Robert Breuder have served four former trustees with demands for all of their emails and other communications about Breuder’s contract and performance, court files show. Also among items Breuder wants from former board Chair Kathy Hamilton, current Chair Deanne Mazzochi and trustees Frank Napolitano and Charles Bernstein: All documents and communications referring to Breuder’s October 2015 termination or the hiring of Alix Partners to conduct a financial audit of the College of DuPage. Of course, because the trustees are being sued in both their official capacities and as individuals, it will be interesting to see what private emails surface as the case continues.

The official response, says a source at the top of Rauner’s campaign operation, is no one. “We have lots of friends interested,” he said. Among those interested in the job are Republicans state Rep. David Harris of Arlington Heights, state Rep. Tom Morrison of Palatine, Rolling Meadows Mayor Tom Rooney, Palatine Township Supervisor Sharon Langlotz-Johnson, Palatine Committeeman Aaron Del Mar and Arlington Heights Trustee Joe Farwell. Republican committeemen from Palatine, Wheeling, Elk Grove, Maine and Barrington townships will meet in mid-September to select a replacement.)

NEW YORK POST
— American journalism is collapsing before our eyes – Michael Goodwin
http://nypost.com/2016/08/21/american-journalism-is-collapsing-before-our-eyes/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, and Hillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president. But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it. The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand-in-hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations. The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America. The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — and major newspapers like The New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent. Indeed, no foreign enemy, no terror group, no native criminal gang, suffers the daily beating that Trump does. The mad mullahs of Iran, who call America the Great Satan and vow to wipe Israel off the map, are treated gently by comparison. By torching its remaining credibility in service of Clinton, the mainstream media’s reputations will likely never recover, nor will the standards. No future producer, editor, reporter or anchor can be expected to meet a test of fairness when that standard has been trashed in such willful and blatant fashion. Liberal bias in journalism is often baked into the cake. The traditional ethos of comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable leads to demands that government solve every problem. Favoring big government, then, becomes routine among most journalists, especially young ones. I know because I was one of them. I started at the Times while the Vietnam War and civil-rights movement raged, and was full of certainty about right and wrong. My editors were, too, though in a different way. Our boss of bosses, the legendary Abe Rosenthal, knew his reporters leaned left, so he leaned right to “keep the paper straight.” That meant the Times, except for the opinion pages, was scrubbed free of reporters’ political views, an edict that was enforced by giving the opinion and news operations separate editors. The church-and-state structure was one reason the Times was considered the flagship of journalism. Those days are gone. The Times now is so out of the closet as a Clinton shill that it is giving itself permission to violate any semblance of evenhandedness in its news pages as well as its opinion pages. A recent article by its media reporter, Jim Rutenberg, whom I know and like, began this way: “If you’re a working journalist and you believe that Donald J. Trump is a demagogue playing to the nation’s worst racist and nationalistic tendencies, that he cozies up to anti-American dictators and that he would be dangerous with control of the United States nuclear codes, how the heck are you supposed to cover him?” Whoa, Nellie. The clear assumption is that many reporters see Trump that way, and it is note­worthy that no similar question is raised about Clinton, whose scandals are deserving only of “scrutiny.” Rutenberg approvingly cites a leftist journalist who calls one candidate “normal” and the other ­“abnormal.” Clinton is hardly “normal” to the 68 percent of Americans who find her dishonest and untrustworthy, though apparently not a single one of those people writes for the Times. Statistically, that makes the Times “abnormal.” Also, you don’t need to be a ­detective to hear echoes in that first paragraph of Clinton speeches and ads, including those featured prominently on the Times’ Web site. In effect, the paper has seamlessly ­adopted Clinton’s view as its own, then tries to justify its coverage. It’s an impossible task, and Rutenberg fails because he must. Any reporter who agrees with Clinton about Trump has no business covering either candidate. It’s pure bias, which the Times fancies itself an expert in detecting in others, but is blissfully tolerant of its own. And with the top political editor quoted in the story as ­approving the one-sided coverage as necessary and deserving, the prejudice is now official policy. It’s a historic mistake and a complete break with the paper’s own traditions. Instead of dropping its standards, the Times should bend over backwards to enforce them, even while acknowledging that Trump is a rare breed. That’s the whole point of standards — they are designed to guide decisions not just in easy cases, but in all cases, to preserve trust. The Times, of course, is not alone in becoming unhinged over Trump, but that’s also the point. It used to be unique because of its adherence to fairness. Now its only standard is a double standard, one that it proudly ­confesses. Shame would be more appropriate.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Customers who buy Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers do so because they want modern evocations of 1960s performance icons, not because they need them, says Karl Brauer, senior director of insights for Kelley Blue Book. And that could be a problem. “You have the canaries in the coal mine — cars that are more discretionary rather than functional purchases, and cars that you see starting to decline first” when the market starts to plateau or dip, he says. “We’re seeing that in two areas — luxury brands are struggling more, and so are these performance cars.” Indeed, luxury car sales have fallen 13 percent year to date in a total market that’s up 1.1 percent.)
