| [FoxNews] Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson abruptly ended a meeting this week with one of his city's most prominent newspapers after refusing to go on the record. The Chicago Sun-Times published a blistering report Tuesday about the Democrat's icy relationship with the City Hall press corps, insisting any "honeymoon" he may have had with the media since taking office last year is over. "The City Hall press corps has turned hostile, openly frustrated with a mayor who is seldom accessible and evasive when he does take questions," the Sun-Times reported. "Newspaper editorials are critical and, at times, disdainful while portraying Johnson as in over his head." |

| #5 Well, the journalism degree from the colleges was before the colleges came up with the new DEI scam. Journalism is a dying market because its now competing against other information sources. DEI still has the deep pockets of taxpayers and endowments to leech off of. It's been hit too by the overall economic downturn but it metastasizes in the HR departments for commercial entities. So the colleges can still scam another generation or so. |

| #3 I did wonder when (if ever) the press would get tired of being treated like useful idiots they actually are. Maybe the tide is beginning to turn. |
