Jen Sabella—Covering The Invasion

ICE invades the Southeast Side. Ben riffs. Jen Sabella on the state of journalism in the age of Trump’s invasion of Chicago. Reporters tear gassed or shot with pellets. Officials deny what you see with your own eyes. FOIA requests ignored. Basic info withheld. In short, the Trumpers make past Chicago’s mayors—even Daley annd Rahm—look like paragons of transparency. America’s not free, if its press is shackled. Even metaphorically speaking. Jen is cofounder and executive editor of Block Club. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
