The [Monday] Papers
The antidote to cheerleading local media, from the excellent Chicago-based but independent-thinking Evan Silva: Overview: Khalil Mack should be included in this haul because he represents Chicago's first-round pick. GM Ryan Pace used this year's second-rounder to acquire slot WR Anthony Miller, although that move was graded as part of last year's class. Silva concludes by giving the Bears a draft grade of "C," which is quite a contrast to some other giddy folks in these parts who can't find enough "+"s to add to their As. The Road To Unfreedom "In this culture war, disinformation was critical. Russian TV and social media would create a climate in which news became entertainment, and nothing would quite seem factual . . . The more outrageous the official lie was, the more it allowed people to demonstrate their faith in the Kremlin." The New York Times adds that "Snyder set out to write a book about Russia and its relations with Ukraine and Europe, but he found the trail led to Western Europe and the United States as well. Russia spreads false information, like the story - that never took place - of a German schoolgirl's gang-rape by Muslims, or Obama's supposed birth in Africa." Or, one might say, the story of an American general executing Muslims with bullets soaked in pigs' blood, or Obama's supposed birth in Africa. CSO Dragging * Of course, the angle Crain's takes is How Rahm Ended The CSO Strike. "The mayor is a trained ballet dancer and fan of the arts, and the end of the strike is clearly a feather in his legacy cap as the end of his tenure approaches next month." You mean the legacy of being chased from office so utterly unpopular as to not be asked for an endorsement by a single one of the 14 candidates who made it onto the ballot - or even any of those who didn't? The only people feathering Rahm's cap are his media pals - after eight years of abusing them. - New on the Beachwood today . . .
