Illinois Leader Reappears...Or Does It?
All but the masthead had disappeared from Illinois Leader's main page when I wrote my last post. Depending on where you look, some old content may be visible.
The web site used to bill itself as "Illinois Conservative political news - updated daily," to quote Google's listing. Now, it brags, "Illinois' Premier Public Affairs News Source." There hasn't had a new politcal story for more than a month.
The interactive discussion function is still dead, but articles posted in October have reppeared. The most recent are about the Chicago White Sox on this used-to-be political news source. It was posted on Oct. 27th.
The most recent letters to the editor were posted on October 5th.
The unplugging may have been reversed, but the prognosis is not good.
