​Chicago has fallen hard and fast, and we aren’t shedding any tears. Just look at the image of a recent piece on Darren Bailey in contrast to Chicago’s cover on JB Pritzker. Pritzker is portrayed as a competent lawmaker who could be a contender for the White House. Bailey is depicted as some downstate yokel on a tractor desperately trying to win over Chicago voters. Chicago became an engine to promote progressive politicians.

Chicago magazine’s demise was inevitable.

What was once a political gatekeeper that produced hard-hitting journalism swerved far left and became virtually unreadable.

Now, it has been reduced to a latte-town cultural footprint that produces the left-wing doom porn that progressives desperately crave.

That’s not a sustainable model for journalism.
