CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— ALL OF THE FRONT PAGE: ‘Liar,’ ‘liar,’ debate sparks fire: Pritzker, Bailey accuse one another of lies, hypocrisy and being dangerous in contentious forum. The high-stakes showdown — roughly a month ahead of the election — covered abortion, guns and crime; Pritzker’s handling of the pandemic, and the state’s financial ledgers. But the fast — and at times scattershot — pacing often left viewers without answers about where the candidates stood on those key issues. – Dave McKinney

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Google is evil. That much we know. It’s an advertising company, and so it lies all the time. Its algorithms are made to lie, subtly, such that conservative search results are routinely suppressed both in its search engine and in its news aggregator. (Trust us. We see it every day.) Earlier this week, our Nate Jackson wrote about the company’s embrace of pornography and its removal of two popular accountability apps that help people beat that relationship-wrecking addiction.)

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats analogize those who opposed Irish immigration during the 1850s with those who oppose illegal immigration today. My ancestors on my father’s side immigrated from what is now Germany to Chicago in 1844. They worked in a brick factory in Chicago until 1854 when they homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township. They sold that farm and bought 10 acres just north of downtown Crete in 1864 and raised and sold horses on it. Soon thereafter, they began operating Crete’s only hardware store at the northeast corner of Main & Exchange in Crete. My parents and I lived in an apartment above that hardware store 1948-1954. I lived in the house my grandparents had built on that 10 acres in 1926 between 1954 and 1972. My brother continues to live in that house.
