What's My Mom Got to Do With It??
In the late 1800's, the City News Bureau came into being in Chicago, Illinois. For the next 100 years, it was a cooperative press pool that covered police, fire, the courts and the overnight news beat in the city. The newspapers, radio and TV stations used the pieces provided by City News and its staff - many who were new or “cub” reporters. It is where they learned their craft from the older, grizzled beat reporters who had literally seen everything. Legend has it that one of the first things that a recruit to the beat was told is “If your mother says she loves you, check it out.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_News_Bureau_of_Chicago best fact checking links to fact check
