What a hoot! When the most-useful-idiot in your choir of shill-n-tout “journalists” starts singing a different tune than the one that’s on the sheet-music you handed him, then you know your dance is over, and it’s time for last-call.

Poor Rich, at least Doug Finke got a “buyout” along with his “you’ve hit your expiration date” notice.

It might be good to start asking if Rich Miller’s syndication deals with several IL newspapers are a quasi payoff for his access to Madigan. Jay Doherty’s case isn’t that far of a stretch from how Miller makes his money. He’s a reason why the state is in the shape it is.

Just like CNN without Trump, Rich Miller without Madigan will mean actual journalistic work will have to occur in lieu of continuous propaganda. I don’t think that either are capable of the new challenge.

Rich miller and his bogus capital fax has been sucking up to crook Madigan and the machine for years. He is a laughable joke and has never ever reported honestly. He like the rest of the fake media in Illinois is responsible for the democrat corruption because miller is a cheap clerk clerk who takes dictation from the machine and writes what he is instructed to by his Madigan masters. Miller has no journalistic integrity whatsoever.

Uh yeah, Madigan is so different, being a Daley Machiner, Preckwinkle Machiner and of course, his own Madigan Machine. ☹️ Of course, there’s Madigan’s corruption too. ☹️ Interestingly and curiously, State Representative Mary Flowers (1985-present) is never mentioned as speaker, but she has the most seniority (35 years) over any other person mentioned. ☹️ All the other people mentioned have 5, 10, 15 or 20 years of service. ☹️ In another note, Capitol Fax is bogus. Rich, Oswego Willy and @masterjayem and other moderators accuse posters of straw man arguments and whataboutism, while nitpicking, censoring and banning people. ☹️ Those… Read more »

Mary flowers is a blm supporter who is incompetent, illiterate and ignorant. The thought of this loser being speaker is laughable. Eddie shows his total race bias.

The True Believer, I don’t support her because she’s Black. You show your race bias, by defaming her (or trying to). ☹️

Are you against Chuck Wheeler too? ?

She remains an avid blm domestic terrorist organization supporter and she lacks the integrity, intellectual acumen and ability to be anything. She is out of her league as a rep and being speaker remains laughable.

You didn’t answer my question about Chuck Wheeler. ☹️

What you stated about Mary Flowers is totally false. ?

Not every Black supports BLM. ?

Wheeler was intelligent, flowers is basically illiterate and brain bead intellectually. She should quit already, she’s an embarrassment like Mattie hunter, Van Pelt and the rest of the black caucus in Illinois and the City council.

Miller threatened to post my personal information because I was critical of an article he wrote He is a cowardly punk bully who would run away from a confrontation like the gutless loser he is.

Rich is like the Bernstein the crooked narcotics cop in Scarface. He enables Madigan and in turn Madigan feeds him a scoop now and then.

Mark – respectively, what you are quoting from the article is in reference to evolving from patronage (common in 80’s, 90’s, early 2000’s) and not doubling down on patronage in the 2010’s in such a brazen way. Rich juxtaposes this with Madigan “evolving” with the times by starting out as a “social conservative” given the Irish/Catholic background to pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, etc. to maintain power and continue to be re-elected speaker. Up until now plenty assumed Madigan was corrupt. Today, the indictment confirms he is ethically/morally corrupt and obtuse. The indictment further alludes to potential criminal corruption by the Speaker.… Read more »

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
