The [Friday] Papers

The Tribune's Bill Ruthhart writes today about how Rahm Emanuel coped with another bad week, concluding:

"The political spin lesson in Emanuel's strategy: When bad financial news abounds, the teachers are talking walkout and a policing scandal continues to drag on, try to change the subject to two things everyone likes - kids and parks."

*

I discussed Rahm, Anita Alvarez, the CTU, the next police chief, the Illinois Supreme Court's pension ruling, and Michael Ferro, the Tribune and Sun-Times on this week's edition of Chicago Newsroom, hosted by Ken Davis. You can watch it here, please ignore my always-stupid hair, which was really flat for some reason (maybe the rain).
