Zorn on Persepolis shows what’s wrong with Chicago big media school reporting.

My brother Mike tells the truth about the Chicago coverage of the CPS Persepolis fiasco.
“Funny. It seems the Klonsky brothers are the best news source in town on this one.”
And the Chicago Tribune’s Eric Zorn fully demonstrates the point.
He demonstrates why the Sun-Times and his Tribune suck when it comes to education coverage.
