Illinois gun media flourish with stories downplaying failed Jan. 6 insurrection, claiming election fraud

June 1, 2021 by Kallie Cox

Pseudo news outlets push false claims around election

November 10, 2020 by Jeff Kleinman

Everyone knows the famous line. It's screamed on TV and in the movies by breathless editors who have news that will change the world. “Stop the presses!” We felt that drama 20 years ago in the Miami Herald newsroom. Bush vs. Gore. Election Night 2000. Florida. But first, we had to stop the trucks.
