Is This Verified?
This would be one reason why there isn't an actual investigative reporter in Chicago:
- ABC-owned WLS-Channel 7 isn’t just Chicago’s top-rated television station. With employees related to three prominent Democrats, it also may have the most politically connected newsroom in town. Morning news anchor Tanja Babich is the daughter-in-law of U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, recently hired per-diem reporter Meghan Kluth is the daughter of Congressman Mike Quigley, and per-diem reporter Alexis McAdams is the niece of Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
Dart hired all sorts of reporters, reporters' spouses and reporters' spawn to six-figure jobs over the past few years. The other listed instances show the incestual relationship between the Machine and the media.

IF TRUE, I will boycott ch 7
The Corleone’s had reporters on their payroll too
Don't forget to mention Cheryl Burton is a big police hater. Ch9 probably the least distasteful station to watch.
Yes this is true. Go to Robert Feders webpage. He was the one who posted this. He follows all Chicago media since 1980.
I now refuse to watch ABC 7 News.
Them DemocRats are pretty smart. Keep drinking the kool aid sheeple.
Chicago media is as dirty as the panties
on a dead whore riotously rotting
in a backyard catch basin.
Police Like You Have No Friends.
Like I told my kids, it takes a lifetime to build your reputation and seconds to lose it... To me, integrity still means something...
Organised crime at its core. What a shithole of a state,county and city. Fuckin joke that more people arent in jail. The cancer is so deep it can never be cut out
I cannot watch ABC/7. They hate the police.
Collusion I tell you. A "free" press or unbiased one too boot. Politicians using local operatives to influence election outcomes and get out that party message or party propaganda. No Hillary type dossier required to make a "Collusion" case.
Where are all those special prosecutors? The Congressional and Senate hearings? Is the ABC7 news team just willing accomplices for the Cook County Political Crime Syndicate operating at the local and highest levels of federal government? Objectivity my ass. Influence by carefully placed agents of the elite political class from just one side of the aisle. Those infiltrating agents make well deserved six-figures ensuring the "correct" message gets out to the masses. Pravda or truth comrades.
It seems ABC7 is operating like Tass, The official Soviet era state run media outlet who served its murderous eliminating opposition totalitarian human rights abusing regimes well.
Remember those Congressional hearings in 1963 revealed "Communist Goals". Goal # 20-Infiltrate the Press. Goal # 15- Capture one of the political parties. Very similar tactics. No delusion-its all Soviet style Collusion. Russia. Russia. Russia.
Time for the Feds to take over Chicago and Cook county and clean up the house.
Keep voting Democratic!
Is Sun-Times columnist Mark Brown's wife Hanke Gratteau still a director at the Cook County Sheriff's office?

Right on, brother!
You control the ones who disseminate information to the people.
First, name the author.
Then...
Kees me you fool!!!!
Fuck that channel I’m done with it How bias and fake can the news get?
True. In Feder's column last week
Channel 7 boss says they all were hired because they are so damn good!
Nothing to see here
O.T.
Willie Wilson says that if elected mayor he will appoint three additional police superintendents for a total of four
Four Special Ed's, a quartet, all singing "crime is down" on the first of very month!!
Joliet Police Chief tips on news media after a OIS in their town. Posted on their Facebook page.
This is a letter of concern from your Police Chief.
On Wednesday, February 6th, two of our brave officers went to the home of a suspected bank robber. While they were speaking with a female inside the home, the suspected bank robber engaged and attacked one of our officers while holding a box cutter type knife. Fearing for his life and the lives around him, the officer was forced to act and shot the suspect in order to stop the threat.
Shortly after the incident, some local media outlets repeated false statements which were given to them by unvetted and uncorroborated sources. It is disappointing that these outlets did not ensure that they had their facts correct before they spread this disinformation. One media outlet compounded the problem yesterday by continuing the false narrative. They printed an account of the incident from someone who was not at the scene and had no factual basis upon which to base their account of the events. To make matters worse, this media outlet was in possession of the press release which was issued by the Will County Major Crimes Task Force (which was conducting the investigation), but chose to highlight misleading and unsubstantiated allegations over a narrative which was supported by investigation and evidence.
Experienced media professionals have an obligation to the public to ensure that they are disseminating accurate information. Media professionals should understand Police Departments cannot provide detailed information during the course of an investigation. We do, however, provide them with the information that we can give at the moment. In lieu of responsible reporting, certain media outlets will seek out any information from anyone that will talk to them whether they are credible or not in order to print a story to sell newspapers or gain followers on click media. Media professionals should consider the possible repercussions when inaccurate information is reported. The community should be able to trust media outlets to report reliable information, not uncorroborated or false accounts.
We ask you, our community, community leaders, family and friends to provide us with that understanding when the media chooses not to.
Thank you,
Chief Al Roechner
I haven’t watched the local news for about three years.
All fake news.
I read the Tribune and Sun Times. Both online because I am out of Chicago.
What I find funny is that the Tribune ran the story of the little angel in the public school fighting and biting the police. It also ran the story when she was cut loose in court by the States Attorney "in the interest of justice." But, here is the thing, the Trib did not give her name because she is a minor.... the Sun Times had her name, and photo of her leaving the court with her dad and her attorney.
WTF?
Local news is no good. All police smear pieces or fluff pieces for democrat rats. Definitely biased media fake news
Fuck city fake news!
Only fox cable news.
Who gives a shit what happens here.
Chicago's very own CNN
Bunch of police hating liberals!
What happened to the Jussie Smollett story?
Why does any of that surprise you. We hired Robin Robinson to be a spokesperson for about 150K a year plus benefits.
Never see her, never hear her. Wonder what she had on who.
I just watch the weather on channel 7.
Don’t forget about a certain crack-addicted channel 7 reporter who was blackmailed not that long ago by a male who had a photo of his penis in the mouth of said reporter
C'mon....I'm sure this all is just a Co-Inky-Dink.....Nothing to see here.........
That is disgraceful. Funny how whenever the tell a story (we all know they don’t report the truth) that involves a entity owned by its parent company, they advise the viewers of such. But not in these situations. What happened to Chicago legends like Bulldog Drummond? Report the facts as they are known, not assist in hyping propaganda and 1 groups agenda. This explains a lot. Time to stick with a fairer reporting station. Channel 9 does a better job, although they don’t come out and promote law and order, at least they don’t appear to hate it. Send the message, tune out WLS TV Chicago channel 7.
I cannot watch ABC/7. They hate the police.
Those two over-the-hill fluffers on 5, Carol Moron and Mary Ann Airhead, are just as bad, if not worse.
Imagine that. Funny how things work. And how ingrained the democratics are. Like a cancer. So the question is how do you rid yourself of a cancer? Waiting for election cycles is not the answer.
Don’t disparage organized crime by comparing them to ABC 7 or politicians.
I haven't watched the local news in 5 years. They're corrupt, immoral and are directly responsible for citizens in this city not getting the proper police service.

Owned by Disney..... Commies with MM ears...
Year's ago Loevy & Loevy paid for channel seven's Christmas Party.
"I cannot watch ABC/7. They hate the police."
Which station doesn't hate the police?
Control the media and you control the narrative less sans TRUTH...
Collusion and it ain't the Russians.
A Degree in Journalism is the only thing that can make a Degree in Women Studies look Scholarly by comparison. (LOL)
(Journalism School is the last hope for the kid who's otherwise flunking out of college)
Interestingly, they are doing the same thing unions do...circle the wagons for job security. Safety in numbers. Cept it never works out for those kept on tge outer ring.
Journalists are the ring outside the politicians, and cops encircle both of those. Firemen slip in between journalists and cops when there is a fire but hide out away from the circles when there isnt any. Government goons, the real ones called administration are insulators for politicians...and always have been.
When they get tired of their jobs there the CPD will have a spot for them. Don’t we already have one or two ex reporters hired?
They are so blatant about it, they don’t try to hide it anymore, that the media is an arm of the leftist government. It harkens back to the days of the old Soviet Union and Tass, the government run news agency.
Just remember media, if the left gains control, you and academia will probably be the first to go. And if liberty prevails, the gallows would be fitting for you. Choose well.
Reporters? I think the proper term is, Hacks, Lackeys, and Slugs. ♠️
Boycott channel 7 if you like, but the other stations aren’t any better. They may not have as many politicians’ family members on staff, but they are equally biased.
More Escamerit follies. He was taking "metal notes"

Media's motto in Chicago has always been "Never let the facts stand in the way of a good story" Never more true than today!

Channel 9 News at noon has become unwatchable. It’s subtle but their Trump hate and liberal bias becomes obvious if you watch for awhile. Any goods news about something Trump says, the economy or foreign relations is followed by a comment like, “There is no independent verification of this”, or “other economists are concern about”, or “However foreign policy experts worry that”. Stories about DemocRats or liberal policies never have the disclaimer following the story. Steve Sanders believers dull, expressionless news when talking about Repubs or Trump, but looks pleasant and smiles when talking about liberals. I doubt he does it on purpose. He probably doesn’t even know he’s doing it.
01:40am, you have some lucky kids. I totally agree with you!
“Forget it Jake. It’s Chicago”
wls abc7 Chicago has been anti police for years .. last 3 years they have become
unwatchable, as they become anti police SJW ….
Quit watching ABC news a few years back. Another police hater is Ravi Baichwal.
Every time I see Mike Quigley on tv the only thing I can think of is "little Peanut Head" Chicago should be so embarrassed for some of our elected.
Citizen reader: You see people, when you learn about things like this AND the fact the Sun-Times endorsed Lori Lightfoot you have to understand the cause and affect of the media on corrupting the political process and ruining the effectiveness of government. News media should be impartial monitors of the politicians and NOT their family members. When a newspaper endorses a Mayoral candidate they just put it out that you should not vote for that candidate. One of my favorites is WLS Radio, Bill Cameron and his Democrat Happy Hour Radio show on Sunday nights. What a load of crap that was a few years ago when I stopped listening. They may like to call Bill the dean of city hall politics but I call him and all of the so called journalists on that show in the bag for the Cook County Machine. It is really pathetic.
Is Hosea Sanders still on abc news? I recall him getting busted at West side crack house a few years ago.
We here, are at the center core of the Uniparty beast.
ALL is propaganda.
Face this.
Know this.
End the anguish produced by the desire for honsty in propaganda.
There is no honesty in propaganda.
There is no honesty in the Uniparty.
There is no pity in Uniparty city.
Hardly reporters, just lackeys offering up a dose of lively enlightenment from Sanctuary.
They learned to code, retweet the tweets and can use googled photos from home laptops or maybe one day a week at cubicles.
Channel 7 is about as legitimate as Cook County and why not?
To be the World’s Largest Shithole, the Democrat Sanctuary City needs all the manufactured FakeNews it can get to keep Moving Forward.
Tolerant, Diverse and Welcoming
Durbin, Quigley and Dart
Milquetoast Inc.
Incest and Inbreeding: that's the way to produce news---
for West Virginia National Public TV---- we pipe it in free
because we have no market, we have no sponsors, we
have no ratings. But you should see the office Halloween
party. Blackface is legal here, but we're not going to insult
your intelligence with that shoe polish bullshit. Really?
Shoe polish as in boot black as in Charles Dickens?
Dude, we use makeup and take it off with cold cream.
Remember Little Richard? He was know as the Georgia
Peach for (among other things) using a bleaching cream
on his face to make it lighter. So what's the big deal?
How are those circulation numbers for the The Scum Times and the The Fibune? I imagine they are pretty dismal. Those with half a brain in their heads noodled out that the gatekeepers at those once fine institutions would filter news to fit the leftist template and canceled subscriptions.
Same is happening in television land. People cutting the cable and turning to internet websites and YouTube channels that give consumers the unfiltered truth instead of the socialist party line. You can bet your bottom dollar the crooked media was bought off by the man behind the curtain during the Lord of the Flies terms in office. The media’s day of reckoning is coming.
The ahole media in this town has decided that the machine will continue. They all have conspired to make one of the 4 machine pod the next mayor. Vallas never had a chance as no stories and no media. Vallas was unable to raise money because of this. The media picked Mendoza to be one of the chosen because she is a Rahm ass kisser and her whole staff is Rahm scum. Prickwinkle was anointed because she licks union ass. Daley received tons of money from finance scum to continue the pay to play. No mention that his crooked family destroyed this city and even fixed a murder. And Chico is ok because he’s a total machine pos and a sanctuary city fan. All four are machine scum. And the stupid media is all part of it. All the stations and slum times and fibune all take dictation from the lefts multi million dollar taxpayer financed spin machine.

Was gone a long time due to prostate cancer. Is back on 7, but only every now and then.
when i was a kid i felt sorry for the politicians, old man daley, tom keane and the aldermen, nixon etc it seemed the media, the walter jacobsons, len oconnors and the national news guys in d.c. and n.y. were beating these poor public servants unmercifully. "they cant do anything right! " .of course i was just a dumb kid didnt know from nuttin. but now? holy fuck, obama could of shit on stage and threw it at the closest reporter and they would all be atwitter about what a great pitching arm he has. and of couse the flip side is trump could find the cure for cancer and the media would scream the rotten prick was putting doctors outta business on orders from putin. boy has the media changed in my life time. i think most mellenials believe everything they see on tv which is all propoganda. im sure some of it was b.s. back in the day but it was pro american way b.s. . you know sort of protecting the home team. it is painful today to watch the msm and especially the hate america tax funded pbs. i remember the commies well and what tass and pravda spoon fed their captive audiences. we used to wonder how can the russian people believe that shit? easy, when thats all you hear all day every day and all opposing views are hate speech...................
Ch. 9 became anti-police when they hired anchor Erin Ivory. She would snarl every time she said the name Van Dyke.
Retired .38 spl+P
Here is proof that the mainstream media is irrelevant, Trump beat Hillary. Even with the overwhelming support of the propaganda arm of the leftist government, the compliant media, not to mention illegals encouraged to vote by Jugears, and Soros owned, rigged voting machines, Hillary still lost. This does not bode well for the leftists trying to deny us liberty, along with their lapdog media flunkies.
What are the odds ABC sends a thank you letter through Google Me only a day or two after this is posted through department email?
All news is propaganda. News only reports what they want you to hear !!!!!
As a former reporter in a shrinking industry, I began to notice over a decade ago that more and more of my colleagues were winding up as flacks for the city, the school board, State agencies ... I supposed I could've gone that route but have never been particularly interested.
This sounds a lot like national propaganda outlets like CNN who hire Valerie Jarrett's daughter to "cover" Department of Justice, and their “Law Enforcement Analyst” who reported live from outside Roger Stone's house is a former special assistant to Jim Comey.
