Why Is It....?

A reader noticed this:

• How come McNumbers can claim weather has nothing to do with the homicide totals, then turn around and tell everyone that an extremely mild March set the pace for a spike in Chicago murders that we never recovered from?

 Everyone knows the answer to that one:

• Trayvon Martin

Duh.

And remember:

• The power of the freedom of the press is a flaming sword. That it may be a servant of all the people, use it justly—hold it high—and guard it well.

Unless Rahm says don't publish it - then hold the sword somewhere behind your back and pretend no one sees anything going on. Swords are pointy and might hurt some politicians' feelings.
