Media in Trouble
A couple of people sent us this YouTube video of Jay Levine hassling someone who dared to question Rahm Emanuel about his place of residency:
Now it seems that there is an arrest warrant with Jay Levine's name on it:
Now it seems that there is an arrest warrant with Jay Levine's name on it:
In a video that quickly circulated around the internet, a CBS affiliate correspondent in Chicago can be shouting down a WIND radio talk show host as he tried to ask hard-hitting questions of former White House chief of staff and current mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel.
Now, Chicago Police say that CBS2′s Jay Levine must be held responsible for threatening the radio host with physical assault and have reportedly issued a warrant for his arrest.
We've heard from the Crystal Ball Unit that Levine has stated he won't be taken alive. We are attempting to verify this.

Can we get that WIND reporter to ask some tough questions to Jody P. Weasel?
I gotta jump on this paper!
What's Levin's LKA?
....Aliases?
..Hang outs?
Is there all All Points Bulletin out for him?
Awesome. Jay Levine is a total arrogant Jag. If he caught a Police Officer Doing what he did the tape would be on the news for weeks. He, like the rest of the TV media in this town, think they are above everybody else.
Here goes the hate Rahm- is an Obama supporter- you didn't hate him two years ago but you hate him now.
He did a hell of a job for us up north - Good guy always available.
he of all people should know to watch what you say ....cameras are everywhere. lmao
Typical big shot media guy Jay Leveine living by the double standard and "special rules for special people" CBS has a long pattern of slanted stories and softball questions for "their people" but if they don't like you they will gun for you. If the roles were reversed Jay Leveine and CBS would be all over this guy to be arrested.

too bad jay is a certified liar.
Jay you really need to control your emotions. Maybe some counseling will be good for you.
Chicago is becoming more and more embarrassing everyday.
That is a perfect example of the media's control over what the sheeple see, read and know. Fucking comical.
We sent these failures to Washington and they stayed true to their abilities; take care of the privileged at the cost of the masses. If Huberman keeps up his amazing track record here in Chicago he's a shoe-in for Obama's Cabinet of Cluelessness.
Can i lodge a complaint for lack of professionalism to the dick head news channels.This guys is awesome.
Eh...I'm no obama fan but the wind reporter was kind of acting like a goof.
Jay's actual words were:
"You'll never take me alive, you dirty coppers!"
I don't know about you, but I'm cool with that.
Jay Levine is a jerk.
This WIND wannabee reporter Kelly is also a jerk.
Also I'm guessing since Kelly is the source of the story on the "arrest warrant" that he got the warrant out of the same Cracker Jack box Jody Weis got his shield from.
I've always said violence starts on the left, and freedom of speech only applies when you agree with a liberal. If you disagree, then you're a bigot, ignorant or evil.
It's always amazed me how violent liberals become. Can't tell you how many times I've seen them get violent in the lockup because they're not getting their way...like little kids throwing a tantrum...
They expect kindness, courtesy, understanding, and forgiveness, but if you disagree with them or you're not doing what they want, then you get spit on, called names, physically and verbally attacked.
Fuck you liberal hypocrites.
what district? ill will lock his stupid ass up!
If it was a Cop that told somebody "let him finish or I will deck you" I could only imagine how at the very least Jay Levine would be screaming about how UNPROFESSIONAL that cop was. He would also throw around phrases how that officer would need to be disciplined. Well CBS-2,how are you going to reign in an out of control reporter who has brought a BLACK EYE to your mission? Shame on your profession!
The real interesting part of that clip is how Rahm say to the propaganda ministers, "Do you want me to start over?"
They all know that they have to get the Rahm with his jacket slung cooly over his shoulder and speaking calmly clip out for the sheeple to see.
Don't dare question the residency issue. Daley and crew want the new guy in. So it will be in this rotten city.
"You're not even a reporter."
What they meant to say was, "You're not on the payroll of the Democratic Machine. Don't you know how good it will be if we all just cooperate?"
It must have been so frustrating not to be able to get a good sound bite out for their bought and paid for masters.
Oooooooooo Jay, you're so tough I can't wait til I see you again on north Halsted. Remember?

Come on, Jay Levine was offering to install a deck in the back yard of the WIND reporter. It was a term of endearment and generosity, offering to "deck you" meaning purchase and install a nice yard deck. Sheesh!
Was there a substantial act of furtherance? Was the reporter truly afraid of receiving a battery? Demonstrate how. I don't arrest people for saying stupid shit if there is no corresponding act which places the victim in fear of receiving a battery.
Like the forward pass rule, was the reporter's arm going forward? Was his fist clenched? Was he yelling blood curdling Bruce Lee-like screams? Or did Jay stand there clenching his microphone and take no action towards fulfilling his promise of delivering a blow?
Charles Thomas was pushing Kelly with his body too. These reporters do not have the right to push, threaten, or say who can or cannot ask questions.
Did you hear Charles Thomas say "you're not even a real reporter..." He was the one who escalated this mess and Levine jumped in after.
I saw him on Friday at the Matteson "Fire Pelosi" bus tour stop. Lots of negative body language that went way beyond skeptical.
Hey, Jay, Looks like you need some anger management classes or maybe your just a special concern reporter for CBS news., please get the help
Good for the reporter from WIND radio.
Wow. That one reporter asked Rahm what he is hearing from Chicagoans. Tough, biting questions. Freakin tool.
Looked like he bumped the other reporter too, got something in his eye on purpose
FIRE JAY LEVINE!!!
PUT HIM IN CALLBACK!!
He can answer the phones and give REAL reporters the jobs to go to.
Charles Thomas is an ASSH*LE too!!
If we pushed anyone we would be fired...fire those two reporters, they are caught on tape.
Ran his name there is no warrant, calm down guys
send j-fled over to make the pinch--- it will be his first arrest and lawsuit.......
Hope the warrant is issued on tape,the medias own weapon they use against us now come on jody "just do it"!
Journalism died when reporters egos started to get in the way. The facts aren't sexy, activism is.
my uncle punched jay levine during an interview in the 1980's
While I do agree that Jay Levine is a tool, I applaud him for his stance with that moron interviewer from WIND the other day. It's one thing to go after a story, but that gasbag knew that Emanuel wasn't going to say a damn thing to him the way he kept badgering him with those ridiculous questions. The WIND guy knew he wasn't going to get any mileage out of his line of questioning, so why keep at it? At that point, he was just an irritant, as you could see by the expressions on the faces of Thomas (ABC) and Levine (CBS). If that's the best and brightest that WIND can send out on the street to gather news, it's no wonder their ratings are completely in the toilet.
jay levine is chicagos GERALDO RIVERA
Even if this BS makes it to court (and I doubt it will) no one is going to find Levine guilty of assault on that asshole from WIND.
it started with that jagbag little charles thomas from abc 7 news,he's an arrogant pos
I say forward the video to everyone you know and then have everyone flood CBS with complaints about how unprofessional their reporter is. If enough people complain they will have a hard time ignoring it. Lets treat the press like they treat us
Post this on your facebooks so that everyone can see. There are now more ways to get word out instead of traditional media. Fuck them, because they'd fuck you.
Let see if any LT has the gonads to send his officers to lock this guy up! Only Andrews would accomplish this!
And the M/1 guy asked, "are you a reporter?" as if only "reporters" are allowed to exercise the constitutional right to freedom of the press, as if only those with a city issued "press pass" are the only ones who can report what happens in this city. the so-called "mainstream media" in this city is more like the propaganda arm of daley machined democratic party.
it's probably a summons, not an arrest warrant. check leads before bringing him in.
i wouldn't want to be in the middle of that mess.
Maybe Jay can be arrested or sued for interfering with the man's constitutional right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press? who does jay think he is telling someone else that he is not a "reporter"? If someone did that to Jay it would be front page news, top story of every CBS 2 newscast.
Why do you provide a link to pretend news channel 2? Nobody watches them anyway.
Its the SAME issues every election EVERY year for ever since I can remember! These politicians are goofs and don't do anything but help themselves.
All Good Comments, already posted on this site. The WIND Reporter, had a lot of guts.
It's time to ask the hard ball questions. It's time to hold these people accountable. Yes, it is rude, but it's time to get rude.
Wake Up America: These smiling people, are not your friends. They are out to steal, everything from you, and make you dependent on them.
Is That Rude ????
The WIND reported does ask a good question!
What is Rahm's residency status? I for one would like to see Rham win the Mayoral election. This way, I get to rent out my House here in the City, still clame residency and live anywhere I want!
YOU GO RAHM! Rahm in '11!
However, a prediction, An arrest warrant, The little bitch levine gets arrested, processed, bonds out in record time, the Judge (who has ties to the 11th ward or the Chicago Democrats) tosses the case, like nothing ever happned!
Does Jay have any tats?
Somebody should tell the WIND dickhead that it was a summons, not a warrant.
Was there a substantial act of furtherance? Was the reporter truly afraid of receiving a battery? Demonstrate how. I don't arrest people for saying stupid shit if there is no corresponding act which places the victim in fear of receiving a battery.

___________________________________
You are an asshole and probably work the desk and make zero arrests.
How do you know there was no act of furtherance. Bodily contact after the comment (pushing) sure does appear to be a battery.

___________________________________Hey dumbass. We need reporters to ask the tough questions that we need answers to. Otherwise, we are just giving Rahm free publicity and not getting what everyone wants to know.
Was there a substantial act of furtherance? Was the reporter truly afraid of receiving a battery? Demonstrate how. I don't arrest people for saying stupid shit if there is no corresponding act which places the victim in fear of receiving a battery.
Did you watch the video? Levine didn't just say the words, his demeanor was aggressive and he moved towards the guy. If that isn't a substantial act in furtherance, what is?
And who knows if his left hand is balled up into a fist. You can't see in the video, but if it is, that's even more reason to expect to be battered.
It looked like Levine pivoted to his left and moved his left arm towards the WIND reporter, while threatening the reporter. Why isn't that an assault?
Let me guess, if someone moved towards you threatening bodily harm, you would automatically know that they were not going to follow through with the threat?
I have a feeling you are a media troll. How does it feel to have your actions scrutinized?

I applaud the WIND reporter for doing the job that the mainstream media will not do. Look at who they have saddled us with in the last presidential election by not doing their job.
The media's job is to obtain facts and give those facts to the public so that they can form an opinion on an issue.
The media has moved away from reporting facts and now attempts to advance a socialist agenda. The media has become a part of the government.
We can't count on Levine, Thomas, and the rest to ask questions that need to be asked. They must be good little lapdogs in order to have access to the elite in power.
10/17/2010 06:18:00 AM
You need to watch the video, or if you have already, then watch it again. You can see that Levine turns to face and moves toward the victim, doing all of this as his shoulders move up in a ready position and he screams his verbal threat. I reasonably believe that Levine would have acted on his verbal threat.
10/17/2010 10:03:00 AM
Keep on drinking the kool-aid you simpleton.
Buy this guy a steak dinner! Hey can you follow J.P. Weis around and ask him questions, we would love to see it!

I understand that the guy buys air time, so he is not a reporter for WIND.
Lets be realistic folks but Rahmbo is probably the best bet for Chicago. He can bring in big money to the city, attract business ect. As competitive as the guy guy is do you really think he would let Chicago turn to a shithole like Detroit. If one of the REVruns people become mayor you can be certain that will happen. Im a die hard Republican and I cringe at saying this but of the most probable candidates Rahm is the best for the city.
in all seriousness how is he allowed to break the rules? is he just ingoring them or does he think they dont apply to him? i dont care if your for or against him, i dont understand how he cant flat out openly break a rule that we have set in place.
I know there are some supports of him that read this site, please enlighten me with how he is able to break the rules.
Wonder if Rahm E. still lives at 4224 N Hermitage? The reporter for WIND Radio asked if his residency issues were resolved...
That address is on my Bt. 1922 I have seen the family but I have never seen him in the area...
Very funny. Attention all units, attention all units, deadly force has been authorized for the apprehension of Jay Levine. I often wondered if Jay is really a jag off. Now I know for sure.
I know there are some supports of him that read this site, please enlighten me with how he is able to break the rules.
10/17/2010 10:23:00 PM
When he does, I get to rent out my House, still claim my residency there, and move way away from here!
From what I've read on the net and seen on youtube, evidently William Kelly is something of a gadfly reporter but so fucking what? He made two Chicago TV reporters look like pigeons waiting to be fed with there kneepad questions of Rahm and journalistic cockblocking attempts.
Jay Levine, that guy looked like a bitch in heat! Neither of those TV reporters have a right to censor anybody!
Kelly asked questions whi h we need and are entitled to hear the answers. Kelly was right to keep asking. He was the first in. We don't need reporters teeing it up for Rahm to regurgitate platitudes and not giving specifics on anything (just like in his laughable answers in the Sun-Times interview in the Sunday paper). A previous poster rightly pointed out that letting these guys say nothing all during the campaign is what got President Sparklefarts elected.
We owe it to our kids to be an informed electorate.

He leases the house out and has since he went to Washington. He now has rented a condo somewhere.
I don't know why he would want the job.

10/17/2010 02:03:00 PM
no, it's not rude; it's supposed to be their job, their profession, their journalistic duty, hell, their ambition, to 'break the story', 'get the quote', 'seek the truth', 'inform the public', etc.
the so-called "mainstream media" in this city is more like the propaganda arm of daley machined democratic party.
10/17/2010 12:08:00 PM
not 'more like', are.
Come on, Jay Levine was offering to install a deck in the back yard of the WIND reporter. It was a term of endearment and generosity, offering to "deck you" meaning purchase and install a nice yard deck. Sheesh!
10/17/2010 06:10:00 AM
maybe the word he used wasn't 'deck', but sounded like 'deck'.
that would be more likely, coming from jay's mouth.
I hate this city , I have 10 yrs to go before I can think about leaving not sure of I can make it. I used to love this job! But I guess i thought that feeling would last for ever .I wasn't prepared for the feelings that I have now its very dissapointing and w rahm or any of these other idiots running for mayor the hope is dwindling but I guess I'm stuck on this Hell hole called Chicago
I'm going to buy a badge and start answering calls I hear on my scanner. Please don't charge me with interfering because I'll have a badge.

It is not as easy as becoming a reporter. You will need to be certified by the State of Illinois before you can start answering calls. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you need certification from the government to become a reporter, although they have seemed to evolve into government employees.
You better buy some new underwear too.
hey 1216am, get a clue moron. The guy is the farthest thing from a working class chicagoan. Talk about out of touch with reality
Im a die hard Republican and I cringe at saying this but of the most probable candidates Rahm is the best for the city.
10/17/2010 09:06:00 PM
Wake up. This guy would be worse than Daley. Bring big money into the city? Why hasn't the fucking president done that?
Rahm would be a nightmare for this city. Daley is as dumb as they come and look how much he stole. Rahm has some brains. He'll bleed us dry with his level of thievery.
You better think about who the hell you're voting for, die hard Republican.
159am, why was the WIND guy acting as a goof? Because he asked REAL questions? The residency thing should be a huge issue to all of us. If I claim to be a registered chicago voter yet rent my city residence and actually LIVE elsewhere wont I, as a police officer, be fired IMMEDIATELY? Why is that not an issue that anyone will talk about? Oh i forgot its the media that controls EVERYTHING thats reported. FACTS ARE FACTS. Anyone that doesnt see whats going on in this city is either blind or quite frankly YOU must have something to be gained by voting for some of these assholes
If you were to put Jay on the ground and lock him up on-view, bet how much you'd be the one taking a battery charge/brutality beef
While I do agree that Jay Levine is a tool, I applaud him for his stance with that moron interviewer from WIND the other day.

Ridiculous questions? he asked about his residency and is the stimulus package a failure, both legitimate questions; he does have a show on WIND and has the right to ask questions like any other media outlet. did you notice how Rahm keeps right on walking until Levine and Thomas are there, then stops and waits to answer THEIR questions, Thomas moves him with his body and Levine just stands right in front of him, boxing him out. The liberal media are evil and treacherous, they will stop at nothing to advance their liberal, socialist agenda. I hope Kelly does pursue charges against Levine, he committed an assault on camera, act of furtherance or not, if Kelly was put in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery he has every right to pursue it. You can bet Levine would.

I really don't know exactly what the law is on this issue, and I suspect that most of the posters here do not either. There is a possibility that an exception is made for individuals that take a Federal job that would require their presence in D.C. or somewhare else around the World. How else would a President, or other official, get someone to serve in the governhment. I know that there is such an exception for elected Senators, Representatives and the President. Obviously they keep their residence in their home place. This may also apply to those apointed/hired by elected officials. Anyone know where to find out?
More "Media in Trouble" -- here, CBS reports arrest of CBS Radio reporter and bureau chief. (His reports are on Chicago's WBBM-AM every day.)

Howard Arenstein, CBS Radio Correspondent, Arrested with Wife on Marijuana Charges
"WASHINGTON (CBS/AP) CBS Radio News correspondent Howard Arenstein was arrested along with his wife Orly Katz on marijuana charges in Washington.
"Arenstein and Katz were arrested early Saturday and charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
"...vice units had received a complaint of marijuana growing in the couple's backyard...officers found large, mature cannabis plants, standing more than 8 feet high. In addition, they found packaged marijuana inside the home.

I love Amy Jacobsen ranting about the unprofessional journalism of the WIND guy. The last time I saw her she was half naked peeking out the door of Lisa Stebic's murderer.Ending her TV journalistic career.
That whole video reminded me of the time John "Bulldog" Drummond was getting bounced around by a bunch of Bears fans after a playoff loss
I believe his exact words were that Soldier Field "looked like the deck of the Titanic" and "I thought I was on the foc'sole of a tramp steamer!".

Oh, yeah, she brought her swimsuit over there. Pool time. Unbelievable.
Q: Was there a substantial act of furtherance?
A: Hell Yes! He swung that big ass beak around at the guy. I haven't seen a nose that big since I went to Mt. Rushmore as a kid.
Anyone else think he was just overcompensating for having to go through life answering to "Jay"?
" Anyone know where to find out?"
Yes,

You're welcome.
I love jay..and jfed too..u guys r my heroes!!!
"I love Amy Jacobsen ranting about the unprofessional journalism of the WIND guy. The last time I saw her she was half naked peeking out the door of Lisa Stebic's murderer.Ending her TV journalistic career."
The only ones unprofessional were Thomas, Levine and Jacobsen, in her own incident.. None of this would ahve happened if Rahm would have answered the questions, instead of ignoring him..
