Again - not everything pertaining to Chicago is Breaking News.
In fairness, the story was posted within forty minutes of the Chicago Tribune posting it and the newspaper classified it as “breaking news.” Chicago is the third largest media market in America.
What precisely is your definition of “breaking news?” I wager if the criminal suspect had been a Republican elected official that the national media would be all over the story. Need I add that Representative Farnham (D) also supported redefining marriage to include same sex partners?
This legislation passed with two votes to spare.
Maybe to avoid such labeling issues in future, Free Republic moderators could review and classify the news items submitted. I am not trying to be petty. I seriously do not understand what your definitional standards are.
