Will this cost Jeff Zucker – Current President of CNN Worldwide/former CEO of NBC – Jeff Zucker his job? It damn well ought to. CNN has run an 8-part series titled “Chicagoland”, which, supposedly is an true-to-life look at how Chicago runs.

As you may have heard, a just-released New York Times poll shows incumbent Senator Mark Pryor (D-AK) leading Republican challenger Tom Cotton by 10%. If these data are accurate, they tell us that Pryor, who was considered particularly vulnerable this year, is actually doing quite well…and, by extension, if he\’s doing better than expected maybe other Democrats might be as...
