"In these two crucial decades (1990-2010), no publication moved to the forefront of journalistic villainy more than the Chicago’s alternative media outlet, the Chicago Reader. In many ways, it was at the Reader during this period where all the dark forces of a radicalized, activist press first developed and revealed the damage it could inflict upon a republic, first by wreaking havoc on a once glorious city now awash in debt, crime, and corruption, then moving into the federal level via the Department of Justice."
The Reader was a combo Craigslist/Tinder with a side of pseudo-journalism, nothing more. That these writers are clinging to an irrelevant print-era relic merely tells me they have no other outlet for their diatribes and are afraid to venture out on their own based on their own merits.
