Fox 32 And Chicago 2016 Let Friendship Shine?

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Sep 28, 2009 2:40PM

2009_09_28_foxoly.jpg It's only Monday morning and already tensions are high ahead of Friday's Olympic announcement. Internet muckraker Matt Drudge reported on his website late last night that WFLD Fox 32 has been asked by Chicago 2016 to not re-air a story on the Chicagoans For Rio website out of fear it would harm Chicago's chances of winning Friday's IOC vote. You can check the original story out here; it aired last Thursday. Fox 32 had no comment when we contacted them by phone earlier this morning.
