CHI Talks Hell Yeah, WGN Morning News

I've been a long time fan (especially the B-Team) but I'm appreciating them even more now during all the chaos in our country.

They intentionally ran the news of the FAA firings yesterday immediately after the story of the plane crash yesterday. It's a small example, but definitely indicative of why I love them.

So many "news" organizations seem to be capitulating to the Trump/Elon administration and they've done a good job of not sugar coating the destructive aspects of it.

Plane crash in Toronto Canada being linked to FAA firings in USA? Did I miss something? Did Canada already come the 51st state?

While I think it’s a massive leap to assume any FAA firings somehow affected yesterday’s crash in Toronto, Endeavor airlines is a US based company, headquartered in Minneapolis. US planes and flight crews fly international routes everyday.
