Donald Trump a weak, insecure man with a fascistic personality only interested in power and squeezing every corrupt dollar out of the presidency he can. The only thing keeping him from facing accountability for very real crimes is the supplication of his fellow GOPers in Congress. trib.al/oZCZOoh

One of the last great newspaper columnists around, Chicago treasure @neilsteinberg.bsky.social, marks a career milestone: "The journey is nearly done, the coastline in sight, the safe harbor just around the bend. But not yet.”

Gary Deeb, the influential Chicago TV and radio critic once dubbed "The Terror of the Tube" by Time magazine, died May 17 at 79. I worked as Deeb's legman at the Sun-Times from 1980 to 1983.

Richard Roeper was a star in his own right. Whether holding his own with Roger Ebert on TV, or chatting with Tom Cruise or Jay Leno. But he was also a kid from Dolton who never forgot where he came from, or who his friends were. He was at my wedding in 1990, and my son's bris in 1997. A true loss.

I was interviewed for "Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action," a new Netflix documentary series directed by @lukesewell.bsky.social. I hope you'll watch it.

If you’re not appalled by this reckless and inexplicable action by a too-powerful entity that’s far more enmeshed in our lives than it should be, heaven help you. Heaven help all of us. Robert Feder exists, dammit. chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2...

As 2024 ended, Meta permanently disabled my personal Facebook account, saying it "doesn't follow our Community Standards on account integrity." I have no idea why. My appeal was denied without explanation or recourse. Now I have no access to any of my content or contacts. What now?

Played this Murrow classic on the show today. The legendary CBS News journalist said this 70 years ago about McCarthy: “We will not walk in fear, one of another.” youtu.be/vEvEmkMNYHY?...
