Reporter Asking Tough Questions Threatened

William Kelly, who has a program on the weekends on Chicago’s WIND radio, went out with the rest of the media shadowing Rahm Emanuel as he walked around meeting and greeting Chicago voters Tuesday.

Kelly, a conservative, was pushed away by one self-professed “real” reporter and threatened with violence from another simply for asking Emanuel if he thought the stimulus was a failure.

The first arrogant Old Media “reporter” confronting Kelly is the Charles Thomas of ABC 7 TV. He is the one that keeps insisting that Kelly is not a “real reporter.” Presumably, Thomas imagines himself to be the only “real reporter” in the streets..  Worse was the threat of violence blurted out by “reporter” Jay Levine, a reporter from CBS2-TV. He threatened to “deck” Kelly for asking questions of Emanuel.
