Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are grateful to see Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson rebuke Jussie Smollett for perpetrating a hate crime hoax and damaging the reputation of the city. Johnson also blasted the media for ignoring serious issues while providing wall to wall coverage of Smollett. They’re also horrified by reports of a active duty military officer who plotted to kill many people with bombings, shootings, and outbreaks of disease. And they correct MSNBC hosts Katy Tur and Ari Melber for claiming that George Washington was a “native son of New York”.

Superintendent Eddie Johnson should end up with more fans than Smollett. Chicago is lucky to have him.
To media folk the country is like that New Yorker cover, there is only New York and LA. , so naturally east coast = New Yorker. That attitude is exactly what makes the cover funny.
