Cook County News Herald

Fake news, comic strip, or ?????


Let’s take a look at a new “feature” of this community newspaper: “Do You Know?”

Apparently the author has difficulty distinguishing civic discourse from civility; fiction from fact; and the concept of “out of context” reporting.

His fictionalized account of a non-existent public meeting seems to serve no purpose, other than to heap all responsibility and blame for any problems of county government on a staff member who was hired by, and reports to, elected commissioners. That’s not the way it works, Mr. Moderator (aka former county commissioner). You had your chance.

something that maybe never happened.”
