Margaret on Chicago Tonight

Later on…

Last night Margaret was on Chicago Tonight, a nightly news magazine and analysis show that’s broadcast live on WTTW. She was the “Technology Writer” (even though her official title is Time In Editor at Time Out Chicago) who talked about how craigslist is being sued by a Chicago fair housing group for allowing discriminatory ads to be posted. The lawyer who is heading up the lawsuit was also there.

The lawyer came off as kind of a tightwad, stiff, old guy who didn’t really “get” what craigslist is. Margaret was the voice of reason, explaining that craigslist is a community of people exchanging goods and services and that there’s no one at craigslist whose job it is to screen every posting before it goes online.

If you were keeping score (we were!), Margaret won. She made that lawyer squirm.
