I'll really amazed at the bias shown by Chicago Tribune in reporting cases about Illinois Eavesdropping Law. In Cook County there were three Eavesdropping Cases: People v. Moore, People v. Drew and People v. Melongo. In the first case, the jury acquitted the defendant. In the last two cases, there are pending motions to dismiss. However, Tribune has completely ignored the Melongo's case and focused all its attention on the Drew's case. Melongo recorded three conversations with a manager, Pamela Taylor, at the Cook County Reporter Office for allegedly altering a court transcript. Mrs. Taylor is not a police officer but rather a public official working at the criminal located at 2600th California Ave. Melongo has spent 22 months in jail for this offense, is currently out on house arrest, yet the Tribune in all of its many articles, has completely ignored the Melongo's case. Why? Maybe there's a great bias in that agency against police to the extend that it has turned a blind eye on the integrity of reporting the news. If it wants to report news related to the Eavesdropping Law, then by all means, it should report ALL of it; I'm extremely shocked at what's happening here. A complete assault on police whereas there are also other people outside the police force being recorded while performing their duties.
