Chicago Journalists Shield Rahm Emanuel and Threatens Radio Host

Wow, Chicago doesn’t play and an outside radio host for WIND just got a taste of the “thugs” when he dared to ask the questions that local journalist were ignoring. Rahm Emanuel, on the streets of Chicago, walking around with his jacket slung casually over his shoulder, is not appreciative of the direct questions on how the stimulus funds might have made him a millionaire, nor did he seem inclined to answer the questions concerning his residency. However, it was more baffling to watch the local Chicago reporters close in around him and push the man with the hard questions out of the way. Obviously, he wasn’t going anywhere and it pushed one of the Chicago reporters , Jay Levine, a local CBS affiliate, right over the edge where he literally exploded saying, “Let him finish or I’m gonna deck you!!!!!!”

Sure, the radio host was obnoxious but he was asking legitimate questions that Chicago deserves an answer to- so instead of pushing him out the reporters should have been doing their job and asking the tough questions themselves. However, that little scuffle probably got more publicity for the WIND radio host than a simple answer would have anyways, hence the delighted grin at the very end!

Well, all the local reporters got a dead fish dumped into their mailbox, so they know the score.

Just an example of how the MSM and Democrats are one and the same

Not from Chicago, and I didn’t catch the name if it was mentioned.

The attendant LSM apparently thought the guy was a “birther” since he asked Rahm some thing along the line of “How’s that resident-eligibility thing goin’ for ya?”

The only “Local” hosts on WIND are John Howell and Amy Jacobson, every other political show is syndicated. I wouldn’t call John and Amy birthers. The residency issue he/she probably asked about was Rahm’s resident-eligibility to run for Chicago Mayor. He technically doesn't meet the requirements.

Guess the established media in Chicago didn't learn anything from the 2007-2008 national election cycle.

The national media closed their individual and collective eyes to the clearly obvious problems with Emperor Obama. Look where it has gotten the nation less than two years later.

Noe, the same thing, on a smaller scale, is happening in Chicago and the media is doing exactly the same thing.

Any wonder why we have problems in America and any where the media has sold their individual and collective soles tot eh liberal/progressive/socialist/democrat cabal.

“an outside radio host for WIND”

Must have been one of the contract substitutes that fill in. I ^know^ it couldn’t have been Big John.

(1) He’s too mushy-moderate to ask anyone “the hard questions”.

(2) He’s too much of a hot-head and would never have stood still for Levine to threaten him. Jay would have been instantly pummeled.

Oh, Rahm acts like a tough guy in the steam room at "Man's Country, his gay private "men's club", but deep inside he's just a big softy.

Here he is in an earlier incarnation, singing the "I'm a little teapot" song

Rahm Emmanuel must be walking around in the same daydream that the ‘bamster is - this turkey gave some really really lame answers & he’s walking around as if he’s some kinda’somethin’somethin’-nobody was paying any attention to him-people don’t care and oh yeah mr. big was carrying his coat on his finger over his shoulder like some weirdo -he needs to be exposed for what HE IS especially concerning his membership in Man Country

These are the same thug “reporters” who spent decades covering up for Shortshanks and his father. They protect their boy, and then they get the cherry interviews and hot tips. Oh yeah...and they also DON’T HAVE THEIR LEGS BROKEN.
