Congrats CWB

(This editorial is behind a paywall, but there are ways around it)

Get a load of how the Tribune Editorial Staff is pretty much admitting that the media has completely failed at its primary function....and CWB is picking up the slack:

• Before he allegedly attacked the 26-year-old woman, Reed, with more than 70 past arrests and a history of mental illness, had been accused of another violent crime — aggravated battery — and had been released in August over the objections of a Cook County prosecutor by Cook County Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez. At the time, the judge said, “I can’t keep everybody in jail because the state’s attorney wants me to.”

  Those are likely to be words Molina-Gonzalez very much regrets when she next faces voters.

  But what happened after Molina-Gonzalez made her fateful decision is what’s most on our minds right now. Thanks to strong and thorough reporting by crime news site CWB, we have a comprehensive look at just how badly our system failed the woman who reportedly remains in critical condition as we write.

The system has failed, is failing, and continues to fail, based mainly on the one-party rule that has infected Chicago for over a hundred years now. It's gotten worse with the DEI judges who are placed in those positions to enable the continuing failure by misinterpreting the law, misapplying the law or just out-and-out ignoring the law.

But that's not the only failure.

The culpability of the media in ignoring stories like these or actively assisting in the covering up of incompetence on the part of judges, politicians, slating committees, etc., contributed mightily to the rot prevalent wrecking the system, destroying the tax base, driving out productive citizens and businesses.

As we have stated on numerous occasions, you do not hate the media enough. Their demise will not be mourned by anyone with a functioning brain.

And the Tribune is actually admitting it.
