From Mr. Patrick Hickey, about the latest from what he calls Wilmette-Talking-To–Winnetka, Chicago’s premier leftist-public tee-vee station:

Last night I witnessed Race-baiting Professional Rev. Jesse Jackson serve up more nonsense to the ever supple-spined Phil Ponce on Chicago Tonight. In essence, the arch-race-baiter and Cop Hater, Jesse Jackson, parsed the Fenger murder into a ‘Lack of adequate Police’ nonsense.

Jackson even blamed [torturer] Burge [long-time gone from scene] for the Fenger beat down – click my post title for the WTTW Jesse Fest. [Host with the leastest Phil] Ponce could not be anymore amoeba-like in his Bill Moyers cupped chin-gee-whiz Jesse affection.

See Jesse, see Phil here.

It is to chuckle, if not laugh out loud (LOL to texters), to read this alleged refutation in Sun-Times of Drudge Report’s story, now scrubbed, about pressure on WFLD-32 to drop its coverage of the anti-Olympics web site.

Chicago 2016 spokesman Patrick Sandusky said he did speak to the Fox news outlet Thursday about possibly doing a follow-up story to the station’s first piece after questions about the site arose, but he never demanded they stop reporting on the Web site. “It’s what anyone in my position would have done,” Sandusky said.

That sure ices it.  The 2016 spokesman denied it, so Lew Lazare can use this lede:

A Drudge Report news blog item was off the mark in an item it posted late Sunday night.

And the copy desk can faithfully compose this head:

Drudge wrong on Web site report

And if you weren’t convinced, this should do it:

[A] WFLD spokeswoman released a copy of a story the station intended to run on its Monday evening newscast. In that story, WFLD said it “chose” to discontinue referring to the ChicagoansForRio Web site until “its authenticity could be verified.”

After that friendly call from the 2016 man.

A little nuance, please, from S-T? 

On the other hand: As noted above, Drudge has scrubbed the item, which does nothing to erase the incredibility of the S-T story, assuming credibility is important.
