by admin on 19. Jul, 2010 in Mainstream Media, Rahm Emanuel, SEIU, Tom Balanoff, Valerie Jarrett

Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times often gets the Obama version of events first from sources inside the White House. Her reports often are sympathetic and oblivious to obvious gaps in logic.

Obama’s rolling disclosure on Rezko a clue national press chose to ignore
