The (UK) Guardian pushed a story yesterday morning about Homan Square in Chicago, a former Sears-Roebuck warehouse that now functions as a Chicago Police Department evidence warehouse. Oh, and a CIA-level black site where people are routinely brought in undocumented, physically and psychologically abused, and are unable to contact or be located by anyone in the outside world, including friends, family, and attorneys.
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/24/chicago-police-detain-americans-black-site This remains the most popular story on the Guardian's website more than 24 hours later. While this occurred on the same day as the mayoral election here, you would think might be worthy of mention in the local media, seeing it can only be described as one of the most horrific civil rights violations in the police department's long history of horrific civil rights violations. It took the Tribune nearly 12 hours to post even a mention of the story on its website, when it produced a story with a single quote: a statement from the Chicago Police Department that is essentially "who you gonna believe: me or your lyin' eyes?" http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-police-guardian-story-met-20150224-story.html But don't you worry: they had plenty of coverage of the Naperville guy who won that $252 million lottery jackpot! -- -- TV or Not TV ....
