Chicago - A message from the station manager

CPD Hires R. Kelly Media Pal

By Steve Rhodes

Former Fox Chicago News anchor Robin Robinson has apparently been hired by the Chicago Police Department.


That would be this Robin Robinson:
“News staffers at Chicago Fox affiliate WFLD-TV were told in a memo to ‘take particular care in our reporting of R. Kelly’ so the station could get ‘exclusive access’ to the R&B star, who is awaiting trial on 21 child pornograhy charges in Chicago. The memo states: ‘When referring to the alleged victim . . . do not specify an age . . . she is simply underaged. Do not use video of him in orange jumpsuit . . . unless specifically referring to his arrest [last June] in Florida.” A WFLD veep tells Robert Feder the memo was written by an executive producer after being pressured by news anchor Robin Robinson, who is a Kelly pal.”


But nevermind!

I will give Robinson credit for this bit of truth-telling – though it’s hardly enough to overcome her R. Kelly business. But her approach has served her well!

Comments welcome.
