MEDIA WATCH: Rahm touted Walmart on March 4 while the media showcased him at the fire house
If you listened to or watched the news on March 4, 2015, you'd have learned that Rahm Emanuel may have once drunk expensive wine with his buddy Bruce Rauner, but now he was opposed -- did you hear that, OPPOSED! -- to the Bruce Rauner budget. And of course Rahm chose a fire house to make that statement. A fire house used by Hollywood.
But on the same day, Rahm was touting Walmart and his old buddies, the Walton family (who are putting millions into the charter schools Rahm touts for Chicago).
It was all in the City Hall press releases:
