The Weekend Desk ReportHere's some stuff from my aborted Friday column, which I didn't finish due to entirely foreseen circumstances. New on the Beachwood since then . . . The Week In Chicago Rock * The Beachwood Radio Sports Hour: More Flames And Bat Flips * TrackNotes: The New Math * What Does Research The NRA Is Stifling Really Show? * The Scientist And The Forger: Probing A Turbulent Art World * YouTube Comments Deliver: The Hayley & Snot Affair - On This Day In . . . 2015: The Homan Square Papers. "I'm confused. First the problem was that it couldn't be happening or our local reporters - who had been told it was happening and passed on the story - would know. Now it's that everyone knows it's happening, but it's not happening at Homan but all over the city. So it's happening everywhere except where the Guardian reported! Therefore, not a story." * 2016: Tronc's Top Tribbie. "Unasked of [new editor Bruce] Dold: Does it trouble you that Michael Ferro dipped into the Sun-Times newsroom when he was the principal owner there and meddled with the paper's political coverage to an extent that highly respected veteran reporter Dave McKinney chose to leave? Does it bother you that veteran Capitol Fax publisher and syndicated political columnist Rich Miller 'was dismissed by the Sun-Times after penning a column critical of Mr. Rauner?' Does it concern you that "Ferro ha[d] been exerting pressure on editors regarding coverage of Rauner?" The truth: Dold's conversative stewardship of the editorial page got him the editor's job, which is problematic to say the least. * 2012: Obama's FOIA Fail. "Simply empty words." * 2012: Selling NATO and the G8. "'The cost of the event is huge - $30-million in London, $18-million (U.S.) in Pittsburgh, more than $1-billion in Toronto - while the payoff is growing less obvious.' "As it will in Chicago as well. Elites will love hobnobbing with elites, but the touted economic benefits will evaporate as quickly as they have for any town that's hosted the Olympics. It's part of the prepackaged rhetorical sell job, but it's just not reality. Elites just wanna have fun but they can't say that." * 2017: Arby's Introduces Chicago-Style Beef Dip. "Roast beef on a supper roll." - ChicagoGram - ChicagoTube La Luz Gallery. - BeachBook A Stellar Piece Of Reporting Now A Book: A True Story Of Rape In America. - TweetWood Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight is losing $6 million a year more than the Beachwood. Who's the real success?! — Beachwood Reporter (@BeachwoodReport) March 1, 2018 *
