Please call FOX 32 (312) 565-5532 and demand that this bastard should be fired!
Yes, this is personal, but my grandfather made Orland Park what it is today, and even the Democrat Mayor came to my mother's wake because he respected my grandfather as the most honest politician he ever knew.
My grandfather made Orland go from 5000 people to 50,000 and created more jobs than Obama can ever dream of.
I HATE Jacobson and for him to make Rostenkowski into a hero is absolutely disgusting and only could come from the mouth of Walter Jacobson!
Please PING everyone you know I am begging you. I want this bastard fired.
Dengar, just to keep you on the path to a heart attack, let me relate a skippy-Rosty moment from history.
Back in 73-74 I was co-chair of the citywide Alinsky Arson coalition. We had 2 memorable meetings covered by skippy and Bill Kurtis, both of CH2 at the time. One event was pure weeknight protest. The other was a Legislative insurance committee hearing with Bernie Epton, Wm Kempiner, and all Republicans opposed arson. Harold Washington was the only Dem on the committee opposed to arson.
Skippy made sure the protest and TV coverage didn’t blame Rosty for the 107 arsons on 2 blocks in Rosty’s 32d ward. Skippy wanted to just blame Ald. Tom Keane (the EdBurke of that time) and his business partners (One of whom was a Dem from Rogers Park on the legislative insurance committee.)
Kurtis, however, was intent on shifting the focus away from all politicians and blaming the gangs for the arsons, despite the fact that just one of the 107 fires was started by a freelancing gang member paid by Tom Keane’s business partner Ganzer.
Skippy lost; Kurtis won. Actually the producer from 60-minutes won. He totally controlled skippy, Kurtis and the entire story ... and in the end, our Alinsky organizers.
They filmed a gang member (not an arsonist but he talked “more like a gang member”) in front of a blank wall. Then they edited a graffitti wall of a different gang behind him. On TV appearing to be in front of the wrong gang’s grafitti caused a big stir in the community that came to me to explain away.
So CH2 didn’t blame the politicians at all despite the fact that we had ironclad proof that Ald. Tom Keane, Isadore Ganzer, banker Weinberg, Ald Wigoda were all guilty.
