Apparently Rahm Emanuel holds the key to fixing the media's credibility problem

Now that Rahm Emanuel’s no longer the mayor of Chicago, he can finally go where he’s needed: The pages of the Atlantic.

Wonder what kinds of “ideas” he’ll be contributing.

The guy who stonewalled records requests on police shootings and regularly violated the state's Freedom of Information Act? Awesome. https://t.co/LXITC2Zx7C

The same guy who withheld a police shooting video until after his reelection?

Yeah, the guy who illegally withheld his emails about city business from news outlets and got upbraided by a judge https://t.co/H9GKFUKqfp

His office also spent a year and a half withholding phone records with nonsense redactions: https://t.co/jp8kRWs7KT

Those are some ideas, all right.

The fact that this won't drum up a fraction of the outrage that Kevin Williamson's hire did tells you all you need to know. Using your power to protect the killers of black kids is apparently a political opinion with two sides. Abortion is not. https://t.co/XKSR6Ig763

Suppressing evidence of police murdering a young black man until after an election is okay with Jeffrey Goldberg, but don't you dare make controversial statements about abortion. https://t.co/5TCj04H1C1

Isn’t this fun?

Ugh! He used to be confined to Chicago (sorry, Chicago). Now he’s been loosed on the rest of us.

Will he do for ABC what he did for Chicago?
