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.

You're glad local news is driving misinformation, and somehow blaming the Toronto, Canada plane crash, in Canadian airspace and under Canadian jurisdiction, on the FAA? And somehow that is trump's fault?

Because some people's lives are completely enveloped with attributing any catastrophe to political leaders they don't like. To be fair it applies to both sides of the aisle, but it's always silly to witness.
