News media also “guilty” in Blago trial
Guilty as charged!
That’s the ultimate news Illinois voters and news media need to take away from the big federal corruption trial in Chicago this summer.
No, not the fact that former Gov. Rod Blagojevich was found guilty. That wasn’t news, really. Anyone who followed the interminable trial and re-trial, and who listened to the FBI wiretaps of Blago attempting to auction off the “F—ing golden” U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama, knew he was going down.
