When I first moved to Chicago in the summer of 1990, I was excited to have two legendary daily newspapers to comb through. Before the first weekend arrived, I was disabused of my childlike enthusiasm for both of the fabled news organizations. Self-respecting parrots would refuse to open their cloacas over those rags back then, and today they are much, much worse.

Requiem for the media. Thanks for the reflection. Tragic I think. Perhaps being self-aware is the path to resolution. Time will tell. Keep writing.
