FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “Illinois Democrats denounce as ‘deceitful’ a pipeline used in last year’s elections to right-wing local news sites.” Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media acts as an arm of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green parties.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-democrats-denounce-right-wing-newspapers-20230428-o6hs2xsihvgmvngqkxzyqldyyy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A publisher of far-right websites and mailings designed to look like newspapers created a special online portal for top Illinois GOP candidates and activists to directly seek favorable coverage during last year’s elections, according to a newspaper report that prompted state Democrats to denounce the actions as “deceitful” to voters. The Washington Post reported Thursday that Brian Timpone, an ally and business partner of right-wing radio talk show host Dan Proft, used a password-protected portal that allowed Republicans to pitch stories, provide questions for interviews, place campaign announcements and run “verbatim” op-eds on websites and mailings that are published by the Local Government Information Services organization.)
— Democrats crow that “Fox News ratings tumble after Tucker Carlson’s firing.” In 2002, I led a group that succeeded in forcing Wheaton to force Comcast to carry Fox News.

— Democrats acknowledge that “Schools are failing when it comes to telling parents the truth about student achievement. Most parents think that their children are learning at grade level because they’re getting A’s and B’s. They’re not, and schools are sending a mixed message about achievement.” Thanks to my outstanding Trinity Lutheran Grade School, Hope Lutheran Grade School, and Crete-Monee High School teachers, I got an ACT score of 24 and acceptance by UIC in 1966.

— Tucker Carlson (COMMENT: How many demographics do you share with Carlson? I share the following demographics with Carlson: journalist, conservative, Republican, White, male, married, non-poor, and non-veteran. According to Wikipedia, “Carlson began his career in journalism as a fact-checker for Policy Review.” While I worked for GAO 1986-1997, I often worked as a fact-checker. Carlson and I refuse to be manipulated or dominated by our critics/opponents, we refuse to serve as an operative or as a dupe for them, we refuse to glorify and praise them, we refuse to pander to them, we refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and we refuse to give them money.)
