No context in J3 “protest” stories
Saturday, Dec 13, 2008 - Posted by Rich Miller * This story is starting to get some play out there in Medialand…
* That above story followed this…
Doesn’t anybody know how to use The Google? * First of all, “Citizens of Illinois for Better Government” doesn’t appear to be a “real” organization. * Also, this Harold Davis guy has been a longtime critic of Rev., Jesse Jackson, Sr. and Congressman Jackson. Today’s developments are an organic, grassroots display of outrage. * This is from the 2004 presidential campaign…
* From 2003…
* This year, Davis held a “mock funeral” for Rev. Jackson, citing Jackson’s “Betrayal of Dr. Martin Luther King.” * But he does have some street cred, as this op-ed clearly shows. Context, please.

Separating the real from the meaningless
Saturday, Dec 13, 2008 - Posted by Rich Miller * The broken national media is still broken and still goofy. Case in point. This is no big deal…
This is what is called information, not news. The national media seems to be all atwitter that Emaneul is on the federal surveillance tapes. But literally anyone who called the governor’s campaign office during that time period could be on the tapes, so that proves absoultely nothing and it’s just typical DC media goofiness to keep bringing up that subject. * Buried way down at the bottom of this story from The Hill…
Unless Rahm was wheeling and dealing with Governor Blagojevich on that Senate seat, promising favors like jobs and campaign cash, then this has absolutely zero real impact on Emanuel or Obama, especially since the feds are saying he’s not a target. . * But this is problematic…
That is gonna haunt him but good. …Adding… TIME Magazine has a piece called: “Could Blago Cause Trouble for Daley?” which includes this point…
That program wasn’t “run” out of the budget office, but Harris did know a whole lot about what was happening on the 5th Floor. Way down at the very bottom was this…
That probably should’ve been at the top. The question is whether Harris was a “buffer” or whether there were buffers between Harris and Daley. If it’s the former, Daley has reason to be worried. If it’s the latter, then this will go away like everything else in Daley World. [h/t to a commenter] * And while this column is from a totally biased source, it makes some very good points…
Fitz should’ve left the breathless bloviating to the DC media. * Related…

Saturday news updates
Saturday, Dec 13, 2008 - Posted by Rich Miller * The guv hires Ed Genson…
* And this afternoon, the governor headed over to Genson’s office. From the AP…
Genson is a heckuva lawyer. He’s tough and crafty, and he has no love for prosecutors. But he’s also a smart man. Hopefully, he’ll advise the governor to do the right thing with his office and step aside while he deals with this case. * More…
* On the impeachment front…
That’s way on the low side because some House Democrats have still not made their positions known. The guv is toast if he doesn’t step aside or step down. * Ab Mikva talks about Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s motion at the Supreme Court…
* But Ann Lousin thinks it’s a bad move…
Not necessarily. Lousin should’ve read the motion before spouting off like that. * More from Lousin…
I can see her point, but these are recordings we’re talking about here. * And ITLA throws RRB under the bus…
